Seeking Insights for Designing a Portable Dialysis Machine – Share Your Experience!

Hey r/designthinking r/medtech r/dialysis r/kidneydisease r/nephrology

I'm an industrial design student working on my graduation project—designing a Portable Hemo Dialysis Machine aimed at improving accessibility, especially for rural patients. My goal is to create a user-friendly, affordable, and efficient solution that enhances the patient experience while maintaining medical effectiveness.

I’d love to hear from:
🔹 Patients – What are your biggest pain points with current dialysis machines?
🔹 Caregivers & Nurses – What challenges do you face in handling or maintaining these machines?
🔹 Doctors & Technicians – What key design aspects should I focus on for better usability and efficiency?
🔹 Anyone with insights – What innovations do you think are missing in current dialysis technology?

Any stories, frustrations, or ideas you share will help shape a design that truly meets user needs. Let’s make dialysis treatment less of a burden!

Looking forward to your thoughts. Thanks in advance! 🙌
