At Children’s National Hospital, doctors and engineers are teaming up to change how kids with bone and muscle conditions are diagnosed and treated. From motion-capture labs to robotic tools and 3D imaging, technology is becoming part of the care team and helping kids heal faster and safer.

In this episode of the Lead in Peds podcast, Matthew Oetgen, MD, MBA, chief of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, and Kevin Cleary, PhD,  associate director of engineering at the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation (SZI), join host

Nathan Kuppermann, MD, MPH, to discuss how robotics, imaging and motion capture are advancing pediatric orthopaedic care. They share how engineering collaboration and data-driven innovation at Children’s National are transforming diagnosis, treatment and recovery for young patients.
