About Pediatric Health Dispatch
The only professional publication dedicated to the maternal-pediatric health technology continuum.
Why this exists
Pediatric health represents a $700 billion sector of American healthcare, responsible for the health of 74 million children and their families. It spans fertility clinics and prenatal care, labor and delivery, neonatal intensive care, pediatric primary care, specialty care, and adolescent medicine. The companies building technology for this sector are raising billions of dollars. Federal and state policy affecting these companies shifts constantly. And yet, there is no dedicated professional publication covering any of it.
Deal coverage gets lumped into broader "digital health" newsletters where a $110M pediatric raise sits alongside telemedicine for adults and pharmacy automation. Policy coverage requires reading through CMS technical notices that weren't written with operators in mind. Analysis, when it exists at all, rarely connects the dots between funding trends, regulatory changes, and the underlying healthcare dynamics driving both.
Pediatric Health Dispatch was built to fill that gap. A professional briefing that takes the sector seriously — because the people reading it do.
What we cover
The full maternal-pediatric continuum. From fertility and preconception through pregnancy, birth, NICU, infant and toddler care, pediatric primary and specialty care, and adolescent health. The companies building for this continuum, the payers funding it, and the health systems delivering it.
Deals. Every meaningful funding round, acquisition, partnership, and market entry in maternal-pediatric health tech. Not a press release rewrite — context on what the deal means, who the players are, and what it signals about market dynamics.
Policy. CMS quality measures affecting pediatric care, Medicaid and CHIP reimbursement changes, FDA digital therapeutics approvals, COPPA enforcement, and state-level legislation. Translated from policy-speak into business impact.
Analysis. Sector theses, market maps, company profiles, and original analysis on the structural trends reshaping maternal-pediatric health. The kind of deep dives that VCs forward to their partners and operators share with their boards.
