The system is being developed to deliver intense dialysis doses commonly prescribed for patients, receiving three dialysis treatments per week and lower-intensity doses required for more frequent dialysis.

Furthermore, Diality’s system is expected to reduce the burden of care for kidney patients and improve their quality of life while providing physicians with the flexibility to prescribe personalised dialysis treatments regardless of delivery setting.

Diality CEO Osman Khawar said: “Driven by rising costs and poor outcomes associated with in-centre dialysis, as well as the Covid-19 impact on the industry, dialysis delivery is becoming decentralised. To accommodate cost-effective delivery outside of speciality dialysis facilities, haemodialysis machines need to be user-friendly for non-speciality nurses, patients, and care partners.

“To meet the needs of prescribing physicians and their patients in acute, sub-acute and home settings, a portable machine also needs to be capable of delivering a wide range of dialysis doses.
