KidsX

KidsX is a global digital health accelerator focused on pediatrics, founded and managed by Children's Hospital Los Angeles. It operates as a consortium of children's hospitals that collaborates with entrepreneurs, payors, and investors to develop, test, and deploy digital health solutions for pediatric care. The flagship 10-week program, running annually since 2020, supports early-stage digital health companies by helping them achieve product and business model validation in the pediatric market. The accelerator uses a "reverse pitch" model, where participating hospitals present their challenges to the startup community.
