This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD), under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.307), provides $349,859 to Sojourn Medtech LLC to develop a patient-centered self-cannulation training simulator. The goal is to promote self-care and increase adoption of home hemodialysis among African American patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The award period runs from September 17, 2025 to September 18, 2026. This initiative aims to address disparities in the treatment of kidney failure, as home hemodialysis is underutilized by Black patients compared to white patients. The training simulator is intended to empower African American ESRD patients to safely self-cannulate their vascular access, which is a critical step in performing home hemodialysis and improving clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
