In this episode of Medsider Radio, we sat down with Osman Khawar CEO of Diality.

After obtaining an MD from the University of Glasgow and an MPH from Johns Hopkins, Osman Khawar went on to become a board-certified nephrologist with a passion for serving dialysis patients. As the CEO of Diality, he and his team are in the midst of creating a hemodialysis system that's versatile, mobile, intuitive, and cost-effective. 

In this interview, Osman discusses why early-stage technical risk reduction matters and how to navigate regulatory clearance through collaborative relationships. He also shares valuable tips on building and leading a mission-driven team.
