People who suffer from kidney disease often need regular dialysis to keep them alive. Getting access to the treatment when they travel can be very challenging. But now help is at hand. Javier Artigas from Uruguay had kidney disease himself. He's formed a partnership with one of the world's most successful tech billionaires to create an app which connects patients to dialysis treatment all over the world.
