- Product Description
- Matchmaker is a full-featured clinical application that gives transplant organizations the tools to manage an active and scalable Kidney Paired Donation program. In KPD, an incompatible donor/recipient pair (husband and wife) is matched with another incompatible pair (brother and sister) when there is cross compatibility (husband/sister and brother/wife). Matchmaker utilizes proprietary algorithms that find all compatible pairs within a pool and also prioritizes the list to enable the greatest number of potential transplants.
- Market Opportunity
- Demand for kidney transplants is growing faster than the worldwide supply of available organs. Currently, over 83,000 patients are waiting for kidneys in the U.S. alone. Wait lists are increasing, on average, by 16-20 percent each year. In the United States, 19 people die each day while waiting for an organ. (All statistics from The United Network for Organ Sharing.)
- DEMO Says
- Few products introduced at DEMO have had the potential to save lives that Silverstone Solutions Matchmaker does. Using complex matching algorithms, Silverstone Solutions connects kidney donor pairs, finding the optimal match to improve transplant outcomes. Born from founder David Jacobs' personal experience, this software has already facilitated dozens of successful transplant matches with the prospects of saving many, many more lives.
