FBM’s Technology has the potential to favorably impact the treatment of a broad population of people across a broad spectrum of diseases, including Heart Failure, Cardiorenal Syndrome, Sepsis and Acute Kidney Injury. These patients present with a variety of symptoms and experience high hospitalization and mortality rates. More effective, timely treatment can impact morbidity and mortality rates and has the potential to reduce overall costs.
