  • Resumen

  • What you’ll get out of this episode:Listen in as host Tim Fitzpatrick chats with Dr. Osman Khawar about the impact and benefits of home dialysis, and the potential of building a hemodialysis machine versatile enough for any care setting. Dr. Khawar describes feeling frustrated by not being able to offer flexible dialysis prescriptions to his patients. In today’s health system, nephrologists are often dialysis-centric and trying to get dialysis to fit into the patient's life, versus the other way around. Osman and his team want to change that. Today, he's leading Diality, a medical device company that aims to develop a hemodialysis system that will enable physicians to prioritize patients while also helping their practice thrive and grow. Their mission is to develop solutions that improve lives impacted by kidney disease.In this episode you’ll discover:Why early career mentorship was vital in Osman’s understanding and championing of home dialysis for his patientsWhere Osman learned to address key barriers in awareness and education around home dialysis in his practiceWhy Osman believes CKD should be patient-centric to determine each patient's needs and evaluate all possible methods of treatmentWhile patient education is highly important, sometimes we need to go back to the basics and ensure nephrologists are educated and confident in teaching patients the ins and outs of home dialysisWhat it takes to build a medical device company, especially as a first-time founder with a background in clinical medicineFinal Frontier - 5 Questions in 50 SecondsTop Challenge: TimeTop Opportunity: Broadening the user base in dialysis and leveraging data to improve outcomesTech Trend You’re Following: Artificial IntelligenceTop Media Recs: Essentialism, Thinking Fast and SlowHealthcare / Tech Leader(s) You’re Following: Dr. Khawar’s mentors from medicine, technology and entrepreneurshipQuotables“As Diality thinks about education – of course, as a device company we think about it in 2 ways – how do we ensure patients and care providers are comfortable using the device, but also as we move up the funnel, how do we make both patients, payers, and physicians understand the flexibility that they have in the choice of dialysis: modality, choice of machinery, choice of dialysis prescription, all of these pieces and I think we need to continue to leverage technology to do that.”Recommended ResourcesWhat is Chronic Kidney Disease and how does dialysis work?

It was a beautiful day in Laguna Niguel spent walking for a great cause to raise awareness and improve education for those impacted by kidney disease. #diality #kidneymonth #kidneydisease #patientsfirst” @Osman Khawar on LinkedIn“In medical startups, particularly in the early days, a CEO should be accustomed to wearing many hats and making many decisions daily. As your company matures, as Diality has, you must consider how to target your time and effort to the essential things in today's distraction-filled world.I recently read Greg McKeown's "Essentialism." This book teaches the systematic discipline of getting the right things done by asking what is essential and eliminating what is not to support more deliberate decision-making. Essentialism is more than a principle. It's a way of life and thinking that helps us operate at our highest point of contribution.Becoming a true essentialist won't happen overnight, but I'm excited to take an active approach to view life through the essentialist lens. In so doing, I will become more intentional.Have you read this book? If so, what do you think? Do you have a suggestion on what I should read next? Looking forward to your comments! #ceo #reading#productive #business #essentialism” @Osman Khawar on LinkedInAbout Your HostTim Fitzpatrick is the CEO of IKONA Health, a company using neurobiology and immersive technology to improve how patients learn about their care and treatment options.
