Summary

This pilot, interventional study is testing a combination of remote, virtual interventions, delivered to patients at home to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), with the goal of reducing admissions to hospital.

Detailed description

Chronic kidney disease and kidney failure increase the risk of hospitalizations. Many hospital admissions are potentially avoidable. This pilot, interventional study is testing a combination of remote, virtual interventions, delivered to patients at home, with the goal of reducing admissions to hospital. The hypothesis for this pilot work is that the proposed interventions will be adopted by patients and will improve mental health, physical function, quality of life, and disease self-management, which are all key potential mediators of hospital readmission risk in patients with chronic kidney disease.
