About the Innovate Children's Health Challenge II

The Innovate Children's Health Challenge II is orchestrated by the Center for Advancing Innovation (CAI) in partnership with Resonance Philanthropies of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Children's National Hospital, and Digital Infuzion. As with CAI’s prior challenges, teams will advance promising de-risked inventions selected with rigorous due diligence by potential investors and industry experts. Teams may also enter with their own commercially viable inventions. CAI invites anyone to submit an idea with the potential to improve children's mental health and pandemic resiliency. An expert judging panel will select a total of 15 winners from the pool of teams, advancing promising inventions, and individuals with the best ideas.
