Specifically designed to simplify dialysis treatment for patients and providers, Tablo is a first-of-its-kind enterprise solution that lowers the cost and complexity of dialysis and is approved for use across the entire continuum of care.\n\nThe KidneyX COVID-19 Kidney Care Challenge recognizes solutions that reduce the transmission of the coronavirus among people with kidney diseases and/or reduce the risk of kidney damage among people who contract the virus. The challenge encouraged healthcare providers, staff, patients and caregivers on the front lines to share demonstrated solutions – particularly those implemented during the pandemic. With a total prize pool of $300,000, the KidneyX COVID-19 Kidney Care Challenge aims to share processes, systems, best practices and tools with frontline communities.\n\nThe pandemic brought about a critical need to reduce patient proximity during dialysis treatments to reduce transmission rates, and the Tablo Hemodialysis System introduced a technology-forward solution. Tablo incorporates sensors to track treatment, which are securely and wirelessly transmitted to the cloud. Through the TabloHubTM web interface, clinicians are able to remotely view treatment data in near real-time, reducing the risk of COVID-19 exposure while maintaining a high standard of care.\n\n“In response to the pandemic, we incorporated feedback from clinicians to update the design of TabloHub to provide near real-time treatment data,” said Dr. Michael Aragon, Chief Medical Officer at Outset Medical. “This resulted in not only visualizing individual treatments from a safe distance, but also displaying the status of all Tablo systems, creating efficiencies for the hospital staff. We’re focused on transforming and simplifying the dialysis experience by incorporating modern sensor, software and data analytics technology and we’re honored to be recognized by HHS and ASN for...
