NAT develops novel kidney analysis device for Singapore patients
NAT develops novel kidney analysis device for Singapore patients 17 December 2020 | News The medtech device called ACT by Zensorium needs no refrigeration while screening and testing for kidney disease
Singapore patients at risk of Chronic Kidney Disease will soon have the option to be tested by ACT by Zensorium, a more accessible early-detection device by Nitto Denko Asia Technical Centre (NAT) currently being tested at Singapore General Hospital (SGH).
End-stage kidney disease is the sixth most common cause of death in Singapore. Each day an average of five new patients are diagnosed and this is likely to rise further with Singapore’s increased prevalence of diabetes and ageing population. Support and funding for innovation and research are key to improve early detection, treatment and management.
