For the 850 million people around the world suffering from chronic kidney disease, the grind of dialysis treatment can wear them down in more ways than one.
Dr. Andy Herbert, co-founder of Invizius, is out to change that. This five-year-old company started from humble beginnings and is currently developing H-Guard® Priming Solution, which increases the effectiveness of dialysis while negating, or eliminating, its potentially dangerous side effects. It will be used in an upcoming first-in-human clinical trial and has the potential to improve patients’ quality of life – both physically and mentally.
Join Dr. Herbert as we discuss the origins of Invizius, how H-Guard works, why dialysis can take a toll on mental health, and how working with a strategic partner has helped Invizius progress this treatment.
