Problem
Current methods for monitoring kidney function often require visits to clinical laboratories for blood tests, which can be inconvenient and costly, especially for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) needing frequent monitoring. The delay in obtaining results can hinder timely adjustments to treatment plans and negatively impact patient outcomes.
Solution
Renalyse is developing a low-cost, point-of-care diagnostic platform that enables patients and healthcare providers to monitor key kidney function indicators using a single drop of blood. The platform consists of a handheld device and disposable paper-based sensors that measure biomarkers such as creatinine, potassium, and hemoglobin. The device connects to a cloud platform, allowing for remote health monitoring and real-time data exchange between patients and their doctors. By providing rapid, accurate results at the point of care, Renalyse aims to improve the management of CKD, reduce acute episodes, and enhance the quality of life for patients.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes patients with chronic kidney disease, primary care physicians, nephrologists, and healthcare providers involved in remote patient monitoring.
