What happens beyond the digital front door? In this AMDIS collaboration, Dr. Yaa Kumah-Crystal, Dr. Natalie Pageler, and Dr. Sarah Rush unpack the complex realities of digital family engagement in pediatric care. From patient portals and teen privacy laws to ambient documentation and AI-enabled translation, this panel explores how hospitals can rebuild trust, reduce barriers, and design systems that truly work for families. Together, they examine cultural readiness, access equity, and why health systems must treat family engagement as both a design challenge and a clinical imperative.

Key Takeaways
  • Pediatric digital tools must account for evolving autonomy and privacy needs.
  • Teen portal adoption is still widely misunderstood by patients and staff.
  • Telehealth and virtual quick care reduce burden and boost access.
  • AI tools like ambient scribes and LLMs are reshaping provider-patient connection.
  • Language and literacy remain persistent access barriers.
  • Even tech-savvy families fall through the cracks due to system complexity.
  • Consumer tools and sports analytics offer inspiration for pediatric innovation.
  • True patient-centered care requires redesigning care around family workflows.
  • Success metrics should include trust, connection, and clinical relief—not just logins.
