Chelsea Sallee knew her son KJ was developmentally delayed. “He just wasn’t exploring like other kids,” she said. “Friends at church had even noticed he had sort of a blank stare. Turns out, he just couldn’t see.” Early detection is crucial for children's vision and brain development 🧠, as highlighted by Dr. Catherine Betor, who is a pediatric ophthalmologist at Mercy Kids. She explains that the brain starts learning to see at birth, and if images from the eyes are unclear, it can hinder proper visual development, leading to amblyopia—a condition that children may not recognize or report. Read the rest of KJ’s story to learn how early detection allows for effective treatment, and how Mercy pediatricians in Springfield use the GoCheck Kids vision screener on our MultiScreener device. 📲 https://lnkd.in/eu6rjrUR #pediatrichealthcare #earlydetection #gocheckkids #mercy

This proactive approach helps support overall development, learning, and well-being, setting the stage for a healthier and more successful future. ✅ Want to learn more about the vision screening recommendations and how GoCheck Kids’ photoscreening can be a valuable solution?

Leaving the beautiful city of San Diego 🌴 is bittersweet, but even more so is saying “see you later!” to all the incredible new connections we made at the American Hospital Association 's Leadership Summit this week. Some notable highlights included attending happy hours to meet and speak with hospital and health system leaders about how tech and medical devices can enhance their clinical workflows, and learning from niche vendors about their partnerships with enterprises and the gaps they fill. Building more of these industry relationships will be crucial as we move forward. We return to GoCheck Kids enriched with valuable insights on how these leaders are driving change through patient-centric digital innovations, reexamining operations and priorities, and staying competitive amidst new disruptive entrants. We remain committed to exceeding our pediatricians and their patients’ needs for exceptional care and look forward to further contributing to the success of hospitals and healthcare systems. #AHASummit #Pediatrics #HealthcareInnovation #HealthSystems
