What we do

We are focused on creating change, driving widespread adoption of new technology, and delivering on the promise of an improved experience for patients and lower cost of care for healthcare providers.

Why we do it

We are fueled by the opportunity to give people their lives back.

When we succeed, patients will be able to fit dialysis into their life instead of fitting their life around dialysis. They will ultimately determine when, where, and how they dialyze.
