Wearable arrangement study
Explore the named areas of each concept. Static concept views remain available if 3D is unavailable.
BD Wearable is selected.
BD Wearable
An arrangement around the body. Explore the front enclosure, belt, power module and cartridge housing.
Design studies, not treatment devices. Our next proposed milestone is a reviewed, sealed water-only bench demonstration.

Compact dialysis is a system problem. Fluid movement, regeneration, sensing and controls have to be considered together.
Study the arrangement of vessels, pumps and connections, then define how movement will be measured in a sealed water loop.
Examine sorbent-assisted reuse as a research question. Removing contaminants and restoring dialysate composition are separate challenges; a cartridge alone establishes neither.
Develop sensing, logging and calibration methods that make observations traceable to one recorded configuration.
Bring draft control software, fault-response requirements and hardware interfaces into a reproducible engineering baseline.
The front module study opens the enclosure to show its mechanical and electronics layout.
Exploded enclosure study. Assembly and performance require separate verification.
Research status
A useful next result starts with a defined configuration, clear methods and observations that others can review.
Research documents, engineering calculations, three concept models and draft control software form the documented starting point.
Read the project overviewThe models communicate design intent. They do not establish clinical performance, regeneration efficacy, sterility, electrical safety, runtime, comfort or cost. The current proposed demonstrator is non-clinical.
Earlier wearable studies and the later portable research direction are retained as distinct concepts. A final operating architecture has not been confirmed.
Planning baseline reviewed: 16 October 2026.
Technical baseline: 16 October 2026. The project documentation includes design studies, engineering calculations, three concept models and draft control software. These materials describe design intent and planned evaluation.
Editorial and academic review: 21 October 2026. Academic profiles are linked below. They describe contributors’ expertise; device performance requires separate engineering evidence. Project roles and patron financial support were supplied by the project team.
