Revamping Health: Kidney Research UK’s Game-Changing Investment in Custom Fitness App for Kidney Patients

Funding in patient care is crucial

Lucy Sreeves, executive director at Kidney Research UK stated: “Emerging from a healthcare crisis, when kidney patients risked being stripped of the support they urgently required, peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated Kidney Beam’s enduring significance, with respect to patient results and, vital, cost efficiencies.

We have illustrated that the expansion of the kidney population poses a threat to overwhelm the NHS, hence investment in creative methods for patient care is vital. Kidney Beam provides exactly this, leading the transition from traditional care to digital provision.”

This funding represents a key milestone in Kidney Beam’s objective to tackle the urgent requirements of a demographic confronting substantial hurdles.

“This initial funding is more than mere capital – it is a confirmation of the pressing necessity for innovation in kidney care,” remarked Sharlene Greenwood, co-founder and chief medical officer for Kidney Beam. “We are immensely appreciative of the unwavering support from our investors and collaborators, including Kidney Research UK as our primary investor, the National Kidney Federation, the Sheffield Area Kidney Association and numerous individuals from the kidney community who contributed via a crowdfunding method. Collectively, we are dedicated to enhancing health outcomes for those affected by kidney disease.”

The demand for inventive solutions has never been more pressing. Nonetheless, the healthcare environment currently endures a deficit of kidney-specific rehabilitation programs partly due to a lack of qualified professionals.

“We are honored to guide Kidney Beam in a health tech realm where systemic funding inequalities persist,” stated Katie Bell, co-founder and chief executive officer of Kidney Beam. “This new influx of capital signifies our devotion to evolving kidney health and illustrates the determination of innovation in this crucial sector. The data clearly emphasize the need for ongoing support and investment in areas like kidney health, which remain underfunded yet essential.”
