INSIGHT KIDNEY Status

Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) are diseases that affect the organ system kidney.  INSIGHT KIDNEY has visualized pathological changes in addition to anatomically correct representations.  Using ARKit, INSIGHT KIDNEY allows users to easily scan their physical environment and place the three-dimensional kidney.  Trigger impressive visualizations of the healthy kidney, CKD, aHUS, IgAN and C3G and get an idea of their condition and severity.  Explore the human kidney in augmented reality and learn more about CKD, aHUS, IgAN and C3G.  Due to their rarity, there is a tremendous need for tangible information about these rare kidney diseases.  Embark on a journey through the kidney, from macroscopic to microscopic anatomy, and explore the structures of the kidney in unprecedented detail.  Our virtual assistant ANI guides you through the different states of the kidney.  C3G was found to affect fewer than 4,000 patients in 2017. aHUS affects fewer than 2,000 people, for example, in the United States.  As a person affected, as a relative or as a person with a thirst for knowledge, one searches the Internet for information.  Not understanding an illness and not knowing what is happening to your own body makes it even more difficult and unbearable.  Young people between the ages of 20 and 40 are affected.  Having an illness is already very difficult to bear.  Therefore, adolescents or even children are also affected.  The median age for C3G is 26 years.  Here, for the first time, Insight Kidney attempts to visualize these rare kidney diseases with anatomically correct 3D representations to fill the knowledge gap for patients.
