Neola Medical announces that CEO Hanna Sjöström will participate in the Stanford Impact1 CEO Summit on Pediatric and Maternal Health Innovation for the third consecutive year. The summit, hosted in Austin, Texas, September 18-19, 2025, convenes leading MedTech entrepreneurs, investors, pediatric experts, and representatives from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to accelerate innovations that can transform pediatric and maternal healthcare.
This year, CEO Hanna Sjöström has been invited as a panelist in “Managing Board and Investor Relationships”, a session highlighting how leadership can successfully navigate strategic partnerships, governance, and capital markets to advance breakthrough healthcare technologies.
“It is an honor to return to the Stanford Impact1 CEO Summit and to contribute to the important dialogue around board and investor relationships. As a Stanford Impact1 company, Neola Medical benefits greatly from the expertise and networks that this unique program provides. The exclusive CEO Summit is an invaluable forum to share our journey, connect with thought-leaders, and exchange perspectives on how to bring impactful innovations like Neola® to pediatric patients worldwide,” says CEO Hanna Sjöström.

Stanford Impact1 was founded to address the urgent need for pediatric and maternal health innovations. Each year, far fewer medical technologies are approved for children than for adults, leaving pediatric specialists without the advanced tools required for their most vulnerable patients. Impact1 leverages Stanford Biodesign’s need-driven innovation process and provides access to world-leading clinicians, engineers, and Silicon Valley experts in product development, regulation, intellectual property, reimbursement, and commercialization.
