Adam Cross, MD, Clinical Informaticist, Children's Innovation Lab Lead
Welcome to the Children’s Innovation Lab!
At the intersection of compassion, technology, and pediatric care, the Children’s Innovation Lab is a pioneering research initiative. A collaborative effort between the University of Illinois and OSF HealthCare, the lab is dedicated to transforming the future of child health through AI-powered innovation, translational informatics and real-time clinical decision support.
We believe that every child deserves the best possible care—care that is informed, equitable and adaptive. Our work spans a wide range of cutting-edge projects including:
- Predictive modeling for pediatric under-immunization hotspots using spatio-temporal analytics
- Deep learning applications for concussion detection and rare disease phenotyping
- Development of biomedical devices for respiratory signal analysis
- Knowledge graph frameworks for personalized healthcare predictions
- AI-driven optimization of behavioral pharmacology in children with autism
Our mission is to augment the knowledge and workflow of pediatric healthcare professionals, enabling smarter, faster and more personalized care at the bedside. We are passionate about reducing disparities, improving outcomes, and creating scalable solutions that make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families.
Whether you're a researcher, clinician, technologist or advocate, we invite you to connect, collaborate and innovate with us. Together, we can reimagine pediatric healthcare.
Help us advance solutions for pediatric care!
