Preventing Dialysis Access Failure: How Auvi Labs is Building a Wearable Ultrasound Device | Rishab Veldur & Kevin Volkema

In this episode, I sit down with Rishab Veldur (CEO) and Kevin Volkema (COO) from Auvi Labs to discuss how they're tackling a critical problem in dialysis care. 40% of dialysis patients experience fistula or graft failure within their first year—leading to endless hospitalizations and life-threatening situations.
