Nephrolytics is redefining kidney care with a powerful point-of-care AI solution that empowers nephrologists and care teams to engage with clinical data more efficiently, improving workflow and elevating care quality at the bedside. Nephrolytics is a category-defining platform called Saya™ — the first-of-its-kind AiPOC: Agentic Infrastructure at Point of Care. While others build piecemeal features around static EMRs, Saya™ is purpose-built to transform how care is delivered at the moment it matters most. Point of care is where over 90 percent of medical decisions are made, but it’s also where clinicians face the greatest burden from fragmented systems, documentation overload, and lack of real-time insights. Saya™ acts as an intelligent operating layer on top of the EMR, delivering actionable, domain-specific support that enhances clinical judgment, streamlines workflows, and improves efficiency and outcomes. This isn’t just automation—its augmentation, and it represents a fundamental rethinking of the EMR paradigm. Built by practicing nephrologists, Nephrolytics’ flagship platform, Saya™, is tailored to the real-world demands of kidney disease management. Purpose-built for the specialty, Saya™ automates three of the most time-consuming clinical tasks, including data aggregation, integration, and documentation, which can consume up to 75 percent of a clinician’s time. By streamlining these processes, Saya™ enables clinicians to focus more on patient care, reducing administrative burden and helping prevent burnout. The need for such a solution is particularly urgent in nephrology, where clinician shortages are growing. Nearly 40 percent of nephrology fellowship positions go unfilled, even as the number of patients with chronic kidney disease continues to climb. Nephrolytics focuses on this field not only due to its domain expertise but because of nephrology’s inherently complex and data-intensive nature. Saya™ helps bridge the gap between rising care demands and a shrinking workforce. “While others offer piecemeal tools like scribes or analytics, we are the only full-stack AI or agentic solution dedicated to kidney disease care, built specifically for the nephrology workflow,” says Dr. Fahim Rahim, MD, MBA, nephrologist, founder and CEO of Nephrolytics.
