Submission DescriptionDialySafe is an innovative peritoneal dialysis (PD) solution for pediatric ESRD patients, automating 90% of the process, preventing infections with a sterile enclosure, and detecting infections early using a novel AI-powered sensor. It's designed for safe, efficient, and user-friendly PD management.
DialySafe reduces infection risks by 75% and saves over $1 billion annually in peritonitis treatment costs with automated PD connections. Its early infection detection technology reduces hospitalizations by 80%, enhancing safety and care while reducing burdens on families and healthcare systems.
DialySafe will generate revenue through an insurance-reimbursed rental model, where providers receive the device at no upfront cost, and insurers pay per use under Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) codes. This ensures recurring revenue while improving patient outcomes and reducing complications.
