One in 10 people in the UK are affected by kidney disease, costing the NHS £6.4Bn per year.
People with kidney disease need access to kidney-specific rehabilitation to be able to live well with their chronic condition, but this isn’t part of routine care, and there isn’t a skilled workforce to deliver this.
Kidney Beam is the first to market kidney-specific exercise and lifestyle management app that can provide cost effective routine specialist kidney rehabilitation to address a global underserved kidney rehab market.
The impact
- The latest research published in The Lancet Digital Health demonstrates significant improvements in mental health-related quality of life, physical function and patient activation. The intervention is cost effective compared to usual care for improving quality of life.
- A 3000-person implementation project has been conducted across England with 19,000+ classes completed and valuable insights gathered from Kidney Beam users and clinical champions.
