Technology Roadmap for Innovative Approaches to Renal Replacement Therapy

Overview

In October 2018, the Kidney Health Initiative (KHI) published The Technology Roadmap for Innovative Approaches to Kidney Replacement Therapy (KRT), which aimed to stimulate the innovation needed to move toward this goal. The goals of the roadmap are to:

  • Spur innovation in the KRT field
  • Create opportunities to attract industry and academic investment in developing KRT solutions
  • Encourage an internationally oriented multidisciplinary approach to solution development
  • Accelerate the availability and adoption of commercially viable solutions
  • Ensure that patient and care partner preferences are incorporated throughout the KRT solution development life cycle
  • Optimize models of reimbursement

As part of the roadmapping process, KHI incorporated input from patients, researchers, health care professionals, care partners, product developers, entrepreneurs, regulatory agencies, and payers.
