The role of design in dialysis innovation, sustainability, and patient quality of life

Abstract

This article explores the redesign of the Wearable Artificial Kidney (WAK). The article aims to show how crucial a designer’s intervention can be even for medical purposes. It suggests how a renewed setting of the WAK’s components and the review of its usability can spark the transformation of a therapeutic method that has remained unchanged over many years, but is no longer sustainable, both in terms of resources and patients’ quality of life.
