Valerie Parrish & the IHDI 2.0 Symposium

If you’ve listened to this show in the past or our sister show (Hip & Happening), you already know today’s guest: Valerie Parrish, the Director of Patient Advocacy and Engagement at the IHDI. This episode was recorded right after our IHDI 2.0 symposium in New York, In this conversation:We talk about baby positioning and baby-wearing. We get into early detection and why we still miss hips — and how that might change with smarter imaging and motion tools.We discuss improving brace treatment We explain why kids are not just “small adults” how we are helping build pediatric shape libraries and patient-specific modelingWe talk about surgical precision in theory vs reality: and where augmented reality may fit in the future.And we end with a big idea: “normal” is not universal. Which matters for screening, labeling, and deciding who needs an operation.
