Parent and Patient Innovators

When a child becomes seriously ill, parents often find themselves navigating overwhelming information, emotions, and decisions, all while trying to stay present for their families. In this episode, we meet two remarkable innovators whose ideas were born from these very moments.Aubrey Kelly, CEO of Rabble Health, shares the story of her son’s leukemia diagnosis, the emotional and logistical realities of living at a children’s hospital, and how that experience reshaped her understanding of patient support. Drawing on her biopharma background, she explains why she created Rabble Health to help families access information, resources, and shared decision-making tools when they need them most.We also meet Ella Casano, the Stanford student who invented Medi-Teddy at age 12 after seeing how intimidating IV bags looked to children receiving treatment. What began as a school project has now supported more than 15,000 pediatric patients worldwide through a nonprofit committed to making care feel a little less frightening.This conversation highlights how families, through lived experience, creativity, and determination, can drive meaningful improvements in pediatric healthcare.Connect with Aubrey Kelly:Aubrey Kelly LinkedInRabble Health WebsiteRabble Health LinkedInMyRabble AppConnect with Ella Casano:Medi Teddy WebsiteMedi Teddy InstagramElla Casano LinkedInElla Casano InstagramMake a tax-deductible donation to 501(c)3 nonprofit at www.medi-teddy.orgConnect with us:KidsX WebsiteKidsX LinkedInChildren's Hospital L.A.
