Dehydration and Kidney stone formation
Dehydration causes concentrated urine, which encourages kidney crystal and stone formation, increasing the risk of kidney damage and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Kidney disease progresses quietly and is often diagnosed late, leading to irreversible damage.
Each year, around 1.3 million people in the U.S. visit emergency departments due to kidney stones, that’s about 3,600 visits daily. About 20% of these visits require hospitalization, and nearly 70% of hospitalized patients undergo at least one surgical procedure.
An integrated kidney disease prevention platform combining:
Wearable Hydration Sensors
A hardware device worn continuously to monitor hydration status and body parameters in real-time.
Sends real-time alerts to remind the user to hydrate, helping prevent acute kidney injury episodes.
Home Urine Biomarker Testing Kits
Physicians send diagnostic testing kits to patients for early detection of kidney injury and stone risk.
Helps assess biomarker levels to guide actions needed to prevent new kidney stone formation.
Data Integration & Personalized Guidance
Cloud-based AI platform integrates data from sensors and test kits to generate personalized kidney risk scores.
Provides tailored hydration and dietary recommendations, including an organized list of foods and drinks to avoid (e.g., high oxalate or kidney stone-forming).
Sends reminders to physicians to timely dispatch urine test kits and nudges patients to follow up.
Patient Engagement & Clinical Coordination
Mobile app delivers real-time hydration tracking, alerts, and personalized kidney-friendly dietary guidance to patients.
Enables secure sharing of clinical data to support care coordination and proactive management by healthcare providers.
U.S. Kidney Disease Statistics (2025)
Number of Americans with CKD:
Approximately 37 million adults (1 in 7 Americans or about 15% of the adult population) are estimated to have chronic kidney disease.
Number of Americans with kidney failure (ESRD):
More than 800,000 Americans currently live with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis or transplant.
Dialysis population:
Nearly 555,000 Americans are on dialysis treatments to sustain life.
Kidney transplants:
Over 260,000 Americans have received kidney transplants, but the waiting list is very long, with about 90,000 people waiting in 2024.
New diagnoses each year:
Every year, about 131,000 Americans are newly diagnosed with kidney failure or ESRD.
Awareness gap:
About 90% of people with CKD do not know they have it, highlighting the critical need for early detection and preventive care.
Cost impact:
Medicare spending on CKD patients ages 66+ was nearly $77 billion in 2021, representing 24.1% of Medicare spending in that age group.
Why This Matters
- CKD is a large, growing public health burden in the U.S.
- Majority of affected individuals are unaware and untreated until late stages.
- Kidney failure requires costly dialysis or transplant with life-threatening complications.
- Targeted early detection and prevention programs can reduce progression to ESRD and improve quality of life.
