william-d-rhine

I have been participating in clinical research trials since my fellowship training here at Stanford. Over the past two decades, I have been either the principal investigator, co-PI, or participating investigators for over 20 clinical trials in neonatology, including studies of bilirubin encephalopathy, ECMO, and inhaled nitric oxide. As the medical director of the neonatal intensive care unit at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, I am responsible for the oversight of the policies, procedures and practices of the unit.  We are fully committed to providing the best, evidence-based, consistent care possible, and our participation in the NICHD Neonatal Network has been an integral aspect of our operations for over two decades.  For several years, I have participated in and held leadership roles in neonatology quality improvement collaboratives at the state (California Perinatal Quality Care Collaborative, CPQCC) and national (Vermont-Oxford Network Neonatal Intensive Care Quality Collaborative, VON NICQ) level.

Jules Sherman, Owner, JS Design Group Inc. & Maternal Life, LLC

I have been a professional product designer for over 15 years. In 2010 I was accepted to attend Stanford’s Graduate Design Program, and at the same time became a new mother. At Stanford I concentrated on learning design-thinking methodology at the d. school and pursued projects in the healthcare space. I started my consultancy in June 2012, which has a focus on health and wellness products. I have since been working on design projects for the biotech, mobile health, personal care and PERS (personal electronic response system) industries. Since graduation my clients have included The Clorox Company, Salutron, Whole Biome, QMedic Health and Great Call. Presently, I am the Chief Designer for Suning US working on wearable tech products for the S2D2 Lab. In addition, I am developing Primo-Lacto, a closed system for colostrum collection for mothers who are unable, or choose not to breastfeed after birth.
