For the first time, the Ben Stelter Foundation and ANET have teamed up to fund nursing-driven research. The study has already launched—groundbreaking, nursing-led research examining the velocity of pupil restriction in some of the most critically ill children in Western Canada. The goal is to see if we can predict which children are at risk of deterioration in the next 12 to 24 hours—and ultimately, how to prevent it.

Led by Wendy Beaudoin, Nurse Practitioner, this research has never been done before, anywhere in the world, on children. Tiny pupils, tiny children, measured in millimeters per second, with the potential to prevent devastating outcomes. Small measurements, small patients, huge implications.
