$10M Artificial Kidney Prize Now Live via HHS, American Society of Nephrology

"If you look at what patients want, more than anything they'd like to have an implantable kidney. But innovation has not been forthcoming."

The KidneyX Artificial Kidney Prize, designed to accelerate the development of artificial kidneys toward human trials, is now open for submissions.  

Leaders from Luminary Labs, the consultancy that designed and produced the prize, said it represents the ways that the government can promote innovation through public-private partnerships such as KidneyX, which is a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the American Society of Nephrology.  

"This is an absolute marathon and it is technologically possible," said Sara Holoubek, CEO and founder of Luminary Labs, in an interview with Healthcare IT News. "What we needed was a mechanism to stimulate the market."
