Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Vital Guardian

Is this a medical device?

No. Vital Guardian™ and its products are wellness tools designed to support healthy lifestyle habits and general wellness awareness. They are not medical devices and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult with your healthcare provider for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment decisions.

How is my data protected?

Your data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols. We follow HIPAA safeguard requirements and sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with covered entities. You maintain full control over who can access your data and can revoke permissions at any time. Learn more in our Privacy Policy.

Can my doctor see my data?

Only if you choose to share it. Our optional care-team sharing feature lets you grant access to your healthcare providers so they can see your adherence trends and wellness patterns. You can enable or disable this sharing at any time, and you control exactly what information is visible to your care team.

How does the Guardian Wellness Index™ work?

The Guardian Wellness Index™ is a non-diagnostic behavioral AI score that tracks your daily wellness patterns by combining data from multiple sources including hydration habits, activity levels, sleep patterns, and lifestyle adherence. It provides a simple daily score that helps you understand your wellness trends and stay motivated to build healthy habits.

What is HydraIQ™?

HydraIQ™ is our smart hydration tracking system that will automatically monitor your fluid intake through an innovative smart bottle. It provides personalized hydration guidance based on your individual needs, activity levels, and environmental factors. This feature will be available in the next 6 months as part of our product roadmap.

What devices and wearables are supported?

Currently, Vital Guardian integrates with popular fitness trackers including Fitbit and Garmin. We're continuously expanding our device integrations. Our upcoming Smart Patch and HydraIQ™ Smart Bottle will provide additional wellness monitoring capabilities designed specifically for kidney health.

Is Vital Guardian suitable for people without kidney disease?

Yes! While our flagship product KidneyGuardian™ is designed specifically for chronic kidney disease (CKD) management, the Vital Guardian platform supports general wellness habits that benefit everyone. Proper hydration, activity tracking, and healthy lifestyle patterns are important for overall wellness regardless of kidney health status.

How much does it cost?

Pricing details will be announced closer to our official launch. Pilot program participants will receive special early-adopter pricing. We're committed to making kidney wellness accessible and will offer various pricing tiers to meet different needs.

Will my insurance cover Vital Guardian?

We're actively working with insurance providers and exploring coverage options. Our platform is designed to integrate with major insurance providers and will support wellness incentive programs. As we develop Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) capabilities, we expect more insurance coverage options to become available.
