Development of a Biowearable Device for Monitoring Chronic Kidney Disease by Metyos

Founders
For his next trick the Paris-based robotics entrepreneur is fronting work on a far lighter kind of wearable: An arm-worn patch for monitoring chronic kidney disease (CKD). At the same time rising costs of healthcare provision has increased pressure on services to find smarter ways to tackle expensive issues like chronic disease management, without compromising quality of service. Biowearables offer a potential route to help square this circle for a range of chronic health conditions. At the same time Boulanger’s co-founder, Chashchina, was dealing with a chronic health condition. Metyos cites statistics which suggest there are more than 800 million CKD patients globally.
