KIWAME, which stands for KIdney WAter MEasurement, is a startup that offers a monitoring kit and personalized coaching application for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, particularly those at high risk of overhydration. The company was founded in 2020 and is based in Madrid, Spain. It originated as an innovation activity within the "Digital Wellbeing" segment, supported by EIT Digital, which provides co-investment to package technology, acquire customers, and attract investors.
The KIWAME ecosystem is comprised of a smartphone app for patients, a smart dashboard for doctors, and integration with various sensors. The system leverages data from multiple sources, including wearables for biomeasures and scales for body mass index, fat mass, and water percentage. A key feature is a food scanner that allows patients to take a picture of their meal to determine its water and salt content. The platform collects data both actively, through manual input from the user, and passively from connected sensors, to track fluid intake, nutrition, and daily activity. By analyzing the patient's condition, the solution aims to optimize healthcare institutions' resources while empowering users to better manage their health and treatment adherence. The business model appears to be subscription-based, targeting healthcare assistant providers and institutions.
