On Friday, August 14, 2026 Cedarware President Steven Meyer exhibited on behalf of Cedarware at the Consortium for Technology & Innovation in Pediatrics' (CTIP) 2026 Pediatric Device Innovation Symposium to cap off the 2026 Lurie Children’s MedTech week in Chicago.

The Symposium brought together clinicians, researchers, startups, investors, families, and industry leaders from across the country to advance innovation in pediatric medical devices — a field that has historically lagged years behind adult device development. Cedarware supported the Symposium as an exhibitor, hosting a table throughout the day to connect with the pediatric MedTech community, discuss engineering pathways for early-stage device developers, and reinforce its long-standing commitment to bringing innovative, life-changing technologies to children.

At the Symposium, Cedarware was announced as an official CTIP Vendor Partner. As a vendor partner, Cedarware provides full-service medical product design and engineering for medical device startups and beyond within the CTIP portfolio. Through connected medical device design, mobile and web app development, cloud computing, testing support, and more, Cedarware supports innovators in developing products for the future of pediatric medicine.

"Pediatric patients deserve devices built for their bodies, not adapted from adult technology as an afterthought," said Steve Meyer, CEO of Cedarware. "CTIP and Lurie Children's have created a rare space where engineers, clinicians, and founders can work shoulder to shoulder on that problem. We're honored to be part of it and to keep supporting the founders doing this important work."

Cedarware, an ISO 13485:2016-certified engineering partner based in San Marcos, California, has spent years supporting medical device innovators as they move from concept to clinic — including several members of CTIP's own portfolio. Among them is Luminoah, a pediatric enteral feeding technology company Cedarware has supported through product design and engineering, which recently received FDA clearance for its wearable enteral feeding pump. Cedarware's presence at the Symposium reflects its continued focus on partnering with the founders and clinicians working to close the pediatric device gap.
