Summary

The best treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is facilitated by early detection, when the progression of the disease can be slowed down or stopped. Early treatment focuses on diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, treating risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, etc.) and administration of medications supporting kidney functions. However, once the glomerular filtration rate dropped below 15 ml/min/1.73m2, treatment with dialysis or a kidney transplant is required. Dialysis treatments come with a huge lifestyle management and economic burden to the patients as well as the healthcare systems. The challenges may be facilitated by usage of mobile applications that help the patients/caregivers and multidisciplinary team to manage the complexity of Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) treatment. Even though several mobile applications currently exist, they focus on certain limited aspects of health monitoring like diet or vitals and medical adherence like medication reminders. An application which would take a comprehensive all-in-one solution approach targeted towards managing kidney health is needed. The platform developed by AWAK Technologies consists of a Admin Portal, web-based Clinic Portal and a Patient Mobile Application. The App would allow patients/caregivers to enter treatment data related to their dialysis therapy, medication, symptoms and vital monitoring. It also allows them to communicate with their healthcare team via messaging and teleconsult. The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using this mHealth platform in the clinical setting. Additionally, the clinical investigation seeks to obtain data for further development of the mHealth platform that will better fulfil the needs of patients and healthcare professionals.
