Published purpose

GFR90 is developing and commercializing a wearable artificial kidney used for ambulatory dialysis. Hemo-dialysis used for end stage renal disease is effective - but only when it is being used. The intermittency of dialysis creates social, economic, and medical issues. Our device allows fluid and toxin extraction (i.e., urine) on a near-continuous basis, like a healthy kidney. The device in its current iteration is 6 lbs, in vest form, and can be worn at virtually any time and during most activities during the day. The effect of this is to remove the intermittency of in-clinic dialysis and allow near-continuous, in-home dialysis which can correct the issues with in-clinic intermittency.
