Problem
Many patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progress to kidney failure without timely intervention from a nephrologist, leading to avoidable dialysis treatments. Late detection and lack of holistic care contribute to poor outcomes and reduced quality of life for CKD patients.

The company facilitates proactive management of CKD through in-home and virtual care, working alongside existing doctors to ensure coordinated support. By focusing on early identification and holistic treatment, Duo Health aims to slow disease progression, improve patient outcomes, and empower nephrology practices to transition to value-based care.

The primary target audience includes patients with chronic kidney disease, nephrologists, health systems, and insurers seeking to improve kidney care quality and outcomes.
