Has Anyone Tried New Kidney Care Products Designed for Comfort and Better Outcomes?

[Sandeepgwl]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a bit of my story in case it helps others — and maybe learn something from your experiences too.

I’ve been living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) for a few years now, and I’m currently on dialysis. As many of you know, managing CKD isn’t just about treatment — it’s about the daily grind: feeling tired after dialysis, juggling appointments, staying informed, and trying to live as normally as possible.

Lately, I’ve been@ exploring more patient-centered options in kidney care. That’s when I discovered Vivance, a company focused on improving the dialysis experience through innovative products and support tools.

What really stood out to me about Vivance is their emphasis on patient comfort and technology. For example:

Their dialysis systems are designed to be less invasive and more efficient, aiming to reduce treatment fatigue.

They also offer digital tools that help track your treatment, diet, fluid intake, and even help caregivers stay in the loop.

Most importantly, they seem to actually listen to patients and design around our needs — which, let’s be honest, doesn’t happen often enough.

I started using some of their tools through my clinic, and I’ve noticed a real difference in how I feel — not just physically, but mentally. The educational resources they provide also helped me understand my treatment better and feel more in control.

I’m curious:

Has anyone else here tried Vivance’s products or services?

@vivance.com/

Are there other companies out there doing similar work that focus on the human side of dialysis?

I’d love to hear your thoughts, experiences, or any other resources you’ve found helpful in your journey. We’re all in this together, and sharing what works makes a big difference.

Thanks for reading — wishing you all health and strength on your path.

Warmly,

Sandeep Kumar K

Hello Sandeepgwl: Thanks so much for sharing. I'm not on diaylsis, yet, but I can see this would be useful for those who are. I know there is another company also focusing on patient comfort for those on dialysis that was shared here a few months ago. Perhaps, someone else will recall it. Interesting info on this site. thanks again. Stay safe.

Love the invention of a PD fluid generator using tap water! That will save a lot of space and trouble - storing solution boxes, organizing those boxes, etc. I think at least one other company is also working on a machine using tap water too. I really hope it happens sooner than later. No matter who gets their machine on the market first, it would make many PD patients very happy. Thank you for the information.

Before starting Vivance, it's worth looking into the potential side effects, which can be serious: anxiety, depression and even psychosis; sleep and circulatory problems; tics and Tourettes; etc. It's a form of amphetamine so is a stimulant.

This product is being pushed hard, and its Directors work for giant corporations. None of this necessarily means it doesn't help some people, but do get yourself informed before starting it.
