Pediatric Moonshot

Pediatric Moonshot is an organization working to make specialist pediatric care more accessible, regardless of where a child lives. Its mission is to build an AI supercomputer for children’s medicine, bringing medical expertise closer to patients while helping address fragmented records, delayed referrals, and shortages of nearby specialists. The organization focuses on cardiology, nephrology, neurology, and oncology—fields in which finding the right specialist can be difficult, particularly for children in rural and underserved communities.

Pediatric Moonshot’s approach combines research, community partnerships, and technology. It maps where children encounter barriers to diagnosis and care, connects specialists, researchers, and healthcare institutions, and develops tools intended to bring expertise to a child’s care team. The organization is also working on disease-specific AI, patient registries, and privacy-preserving ways to support collaboration, with the aim of keeping sensitive records within hospitals. Alongside its programs, Pediatric Moonshot shares news, interviews, and perspectives on pediatric healthcare, advocates for research and care tailored to children, and invites supporters to contribute through donations and community engagement.
