ABSTRACT
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 10% of people globally, and millions of people pass away each year because they cannot afford effective treatment. More than 2 million people in the world undergo dialysis or kidney transplants to stay alive, yet the alarming fact is that they only account for 10% of those who require treatment to survive. This means that 80% of the people with faulty kidneys are not getting treatment. The goal of the paper is to use the Simulink feature of Matlab to design a Wearable Artificial Kidney. Millions of lives can be saved by implementing the notion in real time. Engineers can better understand complicated systems using this model. Systems created by bioengineers interact with innate physiological systems. Quantitative models are essential for the design process since they make the process easier. By initially modelling and simulating the artificial kidney, it is more effective to develop a device that can correct the damaged kidney.
