The incidence of pediatric disease conditions pales in comparison to adult disease. Consequently, many pediatric disorders are considered orphan diseases. Resources for the development of devices targeting orphan diseases are scarce and this poses a unique challenge to the development of pediatric devices. This article outlines these challenges and offers solutions.
