Some examples of what we have done

In the last 50 years, there has been nearly no progress on dialysis technology. But finally, the tables are turning. International experts from the technological as well as the medical worlds are joining forces to develop systems that will improve the lives of millions.

Want to eavesdrop on how they see the future of renal therapy? Watch the full video of the online ASAIO-IFAO KIDNEW meeting which was hosted by imec on June 12, 2020.

KIDNEW stands for ‘Kidney Implant Development NEtwork Worldwide’. The meeting was attended by an international group of nephrologists and technologists, policy makers and patient advocates, and members from regulatory institutions and the scientific press.
