Hemodialysis is a complicated process that comes with many risks to both the user and the patient. The Tablo Hemodialysis System demonstrates how applying user-centered approaches to design could greatly improve device usability, and in turn, user and patient safety. Even with the Covid-19 pandemic creating unexpected hurdles to this approach, Tablo’s sensor-based technology offers a unique solution to ensure that user needs continue to be met.
