RENAL SENSE

RenalSense™ is a medical device company dedicated to real-time renal diagnostics. The
medical arena is divided into two different approaches in relation to innovation, some tend
to happily adopt technological innovations and changes, others take a more conser vative
approach.
RenalSense developed a sensitive method of monitoring renal function in critically ill patients,
in order to detect the risk of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and enable early intervention. current
approaches such as manual and intermittent measurements of urine output, or daily blood
tests of kidney function indicators, are unreliable. This company developed a reliable, practical,
and viable solution to this problem – an elegant solution that continuously and automatically
monitors urine flow for real-time assessment of changes in renal function and detection of
AKI risk.
The most significant design challenge in this project was to encourage medical teams to look
at urine indices alongside of those of blood pressure and heart rate.
Designed for early identification of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).
