Transforming Lives: The Future of Chronic Kidney Disease

Description:

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global issue affecting 900M people, and growing by 5% annually. Alarmingly, 90% of those affected are unaware of their condition, positioning CKD to become the 5th leading cause of death by 2040. But it doesn't just impact our health, it severely worsens quality of life and triples healthcare costs. In this fireside chat, we'll explore how innovative solutions in point-of-care testing, Artificial Intelligence, and data are already reshaping care, developing a blueprint for other complex and chronic diseases, revolutionizing Healthcare as we know it.
