Capstone: Mobile Dialysis Pilot Project in Nigeria
My collaborative project is about a Proof of Concept spanning a period of one year, intended to prove that a mobile dialysis system is a viable means of improving access to kidney disease treatment for underserved communities in Nigeria. It involves deploying a mobile dialysis machine that can complete a session of dialysis without constant electricity, nor connection to a source of water; the effluent during treatment is retained within the machine. It is mounted on a truck and moved periodically from a semi-rural hub to more remote locations, accompanied by clinical and technical staff. The desired outcome is that it is adopted by the central government and is replicated all over Nigeria and the rest of the developing world.
