  The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has updated their clinical recommendations on a crucial heart screening protocol for newborn infants. The simple, noninvasive screening using pulse oximetry has been part of the U.S. Recommended Uniform Screening Panel since 2011. Today, it is a required part of newborn screening within the first 24 hours of life in all 50 states .    A clinical report containing the updates will be published in the Pediatrics January 2025 edition (online December 16, 2024). The report, Newborn Screening for Critical Congenital Heart Disease: A New Algorithm and Other Updated Recommendations,” includes endorsement of several new updates for health care providers as well as some other key takeaways from the first 14 years of national screening implementation. https://lnkd.in/d9Sj3Rz4 [doi.org]   Protocol updates reduce time from screening to intervention. The AAP recommendations refine the already successful protocol to ensure the screening is applied consistently, accurately and efficiently. Changes include: A more simplified CCHD screening algorithm that eliminates a second verification re-screen so treatments can start sooner when intervention is urgent. Oxygen saturation measurements of 95% or greater in both the right hand and either foot for an infant to pass. Previously 95% or greater oxygen saturation measurements in the right hand or either foot would pass.  We have updated the video for training and co-branded with AAP.  https://lnkd.in/dnVh7cxm [aap.org]

Whirlwind 24 hours in #NYC at the 2024 Pediatric Medtech CEO Summit. Thank you CobiCure and Impact1 at Stanford Biodesign for the invitation. Amazing to be in a room full of innovators, engineers, clinical experts, regulators and funders all focused on #pediatric patients and those who care for them. It’s not an easy road, but so, so worth it. 💪👶🫀#Impact Bloom Standard #SelfDrivingUltrasound Emma Moran Janene Fuerch (Hogan) Alyssa Abo, MD, MBA Gwenyth Fischer Chester Koh Juliana Perl Kolaleh Eskandanian Kunj Sheth Antje Kirschner John Parker McKay Noll James Wall

Happy Birthday, Bloom Standard! 🎂🎉 We even hid a secret 11 in our logo, easier to spot it the reverse out logo versions. :) Here’s to the next 5 years of innovation and saving lives! #11/11

Impactful, motivating day at the Health Equity Investing Symposium in Chicago yesterday. Never a dull moment co-piloting with Alyssa Abo, MD, MBA! In a true small-world moment, ran into an old acquaintance Aloe Blacc…who literally never fails to share his gifts with the people and initiatives that matter. So glad he’s part of the life science innovation world! Gratitude to 2Flo Ventures for arranging the stellar agenda, and inviting Bloom Standard to share our progress + be part of it. Fully aligned around #impact #investing in underserved founders and underserved patients. 💪👏👏 #PediatricMedtech #GlobalHealth #Equity #MNCH
