We have exciting news: we closed our Series B funding round, led by Valtruis, a Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe portfolio company!

As we expand our comprehensive approach to kidney care across the country, our CEO Robert Sepucha shared his reflection on how far kidney care has come and where it must go from here.

In 1972, former American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP) president Shep Glazer testified before Congress with something out of the ordinary — a dialysis machine larger than a dishwasher, connected to his arm. At the time, this technology was revolutionary, changing the meaning of a kidney fa...

Our StageSmart™ machine learning model uses predictive GFR (pGFR™) to help health plans and providers identify individuals with kidney disease and determine what stage they are in, and our MyCricket™ platform then helps people connect with a multidisciplinary care team, peer support, and educational resources online, by phone, or in-person.

After one year of deployment with health plans, we’re seeing results: significantly reduced hospital admissions among members, a 94% satisfaction rate, and a 90% patient retention rate. https://www.crickethealth.com/2021/04/cricket-health-stagesmart-and-mycricket-platforms-achieve-hospital-admission-reductions-high-engagement-in-first-year-of-deployment/

Today we announced our new approach to value-based kidney care designed for Medicare Advantage plans. Our personalized care management program intervenes earlier and keeps both CKD and ESKD populations healthy, at home, and out of the hospital.

By identifying kidney disease earlier and providing education, peer support, and personalized care, we will empower individuals to better manage their condition, which will improve health outcomes while reducing costs for MA plans.

As kidney care costs continue to grow, we are confident that this program will provide excellent value to plans and those depending on them. https://www.crickethealth.com/2021/03/cricket-health-launches-new-approach-to-kidney-care-for-medicare-advantage-plans/

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious condition affecting 37 million people. Sandy cautions other to increase their awareness of early warning signs of CKD. For him, it was high blood pressure.

Our chief product officer Andrew Schutzbank reflected on the benefits of peer support for individuals living with CKD and why the National Kidney Foundation Patient Network is a step forward for everyone who lives with this disease.
