Project description
Haemodialysis gets smart
Haemodialysis is a treatment for kidney failure where the blood is purified using an external machine known as an artificial kidney. It may require surgically placed arteriovenous grafts to access the blood system. However, most grafts fail because of thrombosis or infection. The EU-funded TELEGRAFT project proposes to develop a smart arteriovenous graft that by biomimicry and drug eluting properties minimises the risk of thrombosis and infection and also allows blood flow monitoring and early detection of inflammation and infection. It essentially serves as a telemonitoring system to allow early minimally invasive prevention of serious complications. The innovation offers a promising solution for patients who do not have direct access to haemodialysis infrastructures.
