Byonyks™
Byonyks™ is a biomedical startup headquartered in Greater Chicago Area. It was founded by Harvard, MIT graduates, and industry experts. Byonyks aims to bring affordable healthcare devices to 8 million people who do not have access to them. His approach takes a two-pronged strategy; First, to help bridge the gap between the latest medical technologies available in the developed world and developing countries. Secondly, it aims to introduce these devices at an affordable price to stimulate local consumer, industry, and retailer ecosystems.

History
Byonyks International was founded in 2019 by Farrukh Usman when he left his American luxurious lifestyle to serve kidney failure patients in Asia. While working on such devices, he could observe the dire need for a Bloodless Dialysis™ for kidney failure patients in developing countries. Hence, the company established its first R&D center in Lahore, Pakistan in 2019. To make the device and its system accessible & cut down the import price, he built a major manufacturing plant in Pakistan for the production of Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) machines.

In 2022, Byonyks opened another R&D center in Greater Chicago Area.

Education
Farrukh suffers from dyslexia and color blindness, therefore, struggled in his early academic career and failed in 5th standard. But he never considered them a "disability" for hindering his development. He still struggles with writing/reading and recognizing colors but it is passion and hard work that keep him following his dreams.
