2017 Rosenman Innovator Green Sun Medical was awarded the top cash prize of $50,000 during the FDA-sponsored pediatric medical device competition at the Fifth Annual Pediatric Device Innovation Symposium in San Jose, Calif. organized by the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at Children’s National Health System.
Green Sun Medical is developing a dynamic scoliosis brace that will allow physicians to remotely monitor the performance on the patients.
“We are honored to have our scoliosis brace recognized with these other pediatric device innovations,” said Jamie Haggard, CEO of Green Sun Medical. He also said that current treatments include braces developed over 40 years ago and spinal fusion surgeries.
