  • • Partnership with the University of Utah to implement KidneyIntelX and advanced clinical management care pathway to reduce the risk of kidney failure 
  • • Collaboration with DaVita to enable first-of-its-kind program combining early risk assessment and comprehensive care management to improve early to late-stage patient outcomes and provide meaningful cost reductions for health care providers 
  • • Exclusive option to license novel biomarkers with Joslin Diabetes Center, which could provide additional clinical utility for understanding early disease progression, risk of kidney failure, therapeutic response, and the mechanistic pathways of kidney disease beyond the markers that are currently captured by KidneyIntelX. 

Operations & Finance

  • • Data presented at World Congress of Nephrology (WCN) showing that the KidneyIntelX algorithm published in Diabetologia and currently deployed commercially accurately predicted progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in a multinational cohort from the CANagliflozin CardioVAScular Assessment Study (CANVAS) with early-stage DKD (stages 1-3) 
  • • Data presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA) Annual Scientific meeting from the CANVAS trial demonstrating KidneyIntelX can be effective at monitoring therapeutic response and improvements in kidney health over time in adults with type 2 diabetes 
  • • Peer-reviewed submission accepted by American Journal of Nephrology summarizing the aforementioned findings presented at the WCN and ADA from the analyses in the CANVAS clinical trial cohort. 

Post Period End

  • • Welcomed new board members Ann Berman and Daniel Levangie both with extensive backgrounds in healthcare company growth and finance 
  • • Peer-reviewed publication in Journal of Medical Economics supporting payer coverage for early-stage risk assessment and care management in the primary care office; projecting significant savings from KidneyIntelX testing at primary care level.
