Summary

Chronic kidney disease in hemodialysis leads to musculoskeletal and psychological complications that affect functionality and quality of life. Intradialytic exercise and innovative technologies help reduce sedentary behaviour and improve health. Additionally, mindfulness decreases stress, anxiety, depression, and pain, promoting well-being and treatment adherence. There is a growing awareness of the need for more patient-centered approaches to address the substantial burden of physical and psychological symptoms that are not adequately managed by standard treatment strategies. Intradialytic exercise programs have become an effective strategy to counteract sedentary behavior and improve the overall health of patients. Implementing these programs through innovative technologies can facilitate their adoption and accessibility. Complementarily, mindfulness-based interventions help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, improve mood, decrease pain perception, and promote relaxation and rest, which positively impact health-related quality of life and treatment adherence.
