Chronic kidney disease affects millions worldwide, demanding advanced solutions. These cutting-edge systems have the potential to transform patient care, offering enhanced mobility, convenience, and improved outcomes.
Traditionally, hemodialysis has been performed in clinical settings, requiring patients to travel to a dialysis center several times a week. However, this approach can be physically and emotionally taxing, often leaving patients feeling drained and restricted in their daily lives. Home hemodialysis aims to change that.

Needs, opportunities and challenges

Let’s dive into the needs, opportunities, and challenges associated with these innovations, including improved portability, filtration capacity, longevity, patient autonomy, personalized treatment, and integration with telehealth.

Teamwork

As we strive for miniaturization, biocompatible materials, regulatory approval, and affordability, collaboration between researchers, engineers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers is vital. Together, we can drive progress and make a real impact on kidney health.
