Kristy Arbogast, PhD is the Scientific Director of the Center for Injury Research and Prevention, Co-Director of the Minds Matter Concussion Frontier Program at CHOP and the R. Anderson Pew Endowed Chair and Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania. She is a global leader in public health engineering, uniquely merging biomechanics, public health, and epidemiology to define injury mechanisms and establish prevention benchmarks for children. She has devoted her career to advancing products, policies, and regulations that reduce injuries and fatalities, the leading cause of death and disability for children. As a bioengineer, her research focuses on strategies to protect youth in motor vehicle crashes and prevent and minimize the effects of pediatric concussion. In concussion, she contributed to improved clinical guidelines to include objective measures of brain function and defined best practices for measuring impact exposure through sensors, leading to improved diagnosis and return to play procedures, NFL helmet improvements and rule changes. Her work is funded by NIH, CDC, DOD and the Toyota Way Forward Fund to study objective measures of neurofunction in concussed youth and strategies for optimizing concussion care.
Daniel Corwin, MD, MSCE is a Pediatric Emergency Medicine Attending Physician, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Director of Clinical and Translational Research for the Division of Emergency Medicine at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and Associate Director and Emergency Department Lead for the CHOP Minds Matter Program. He completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania, medical school at the New York University School of Medicine, and then his pediatric residency, pediatric emergency medicine fellowship, and a pediatric emergency medicine research fellowship at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. He additionally completed a Master of Science in Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Pennsylvania. His research focuses on improving acute concussion diagnosis, risk stratification, and management, specifically investigating the impact of objective physiologic measures of injury on concussion diagnosis and prognosis and improving disparities in concussion care by exploring novel care pathways, with a specific focus on digital health and remote patient monitoring as tools to optimize care equity. His work is supported by grants from the NIH, CDC, BARDA, Department of Defense, and Toyota Way Forward Fund.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify importance of injury and violence as a pediatric health priority
- Identify methods to risk stratify concussion patients using objective physiologic markers of injury
- Describe the potential for digital health to improve recovery outcomes for concussion patients
Speakers:
This seminar was delivered as a Pediatric Grand Rounds Lecture at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, on February 5, 2025.
