Sojourn Medtech LLC received a $905,234 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847) on July 15, 2026, with completion targeted for July 31, 2028. The awardee is developing and validating the CanSim Simulator, a comprehensive, simulator-based training device designed to teach hemodialysis cannulation skills to dialysis nurses and patient care technicians (PCTs). The simulator features integrated hardware and software with realistic vascular access models to address critical gaps in standardized, competency-based training for cannulation procedures—a procedure that remains a significant challenge in dialysis care, with hundreds of needle injuries occurring daily that result in patient complications and substantial financial burden (~$38,000 per major infiltration incident). The CanSim Simulator will provide objective, standardized metrics for skill assessment and enable tracking of individual training progression and competency development over time. By establishing structured cannulation training protocols with personalized instruction tailored to individual strengths and weaknesses, the device aims to reduce needle-related injuries to arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), decrease infiltration and bleeding complications, and improve patient outcomes and satisfaction in dialysis treatment—a critical need within the $35 billion dialysis industry.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
