Heart and Vascular Disease Mini Summit

Join us May 15 for the CHRI Heart & Vascular Diseases Mini-Summit. 

The Heart & Vascular Diseases Mini Summit will bring together pediatric cardiology researchers to learn, connect and collaborate. The summit will highlight emerging trends in heart care for children, including new technologies and applications. 

Keynote Speaker - Michael Goldsmith, MD

Dr. Michael Goldsmith is a pediatric cardiologist, pediatric cardiac intensivist, and board‑certified clinical informaticist dedicated to redefining how physiologic data informs care in the Cardiac ICU. As Director of Cardiac Informatics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, he led the institution‑wide evaluation and implementation of a large‑scale patient‑monitoring integration engine, enabling continuous capture and visualization of high‑frequency and waveform data across the CHOP enterprise. This platform fuels his research at the intersection of real‑time physiology, advanced analytics, human‑centered design, and clinical decision support—work aimed at improving recognition of evolving patient states and enhancing team situational awareness.

Trained in cardiology and cardiac critical care at Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School, he has collaborated on NIH‑supported predictive analytics studies, led initiatives to develop and implement advanced predictive‑analytics models in the ICU environment, serves as co‑lead for the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society’s Subcommittee on Informatics, and recently authored The Case for the Pediatric Cardiologist Informaticist in Pediatric Cardiology. His current work focuses on building data‑driven tools that bring tomorrow’s Cardiac ICU into today’s clinical practice.
