Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is a substantial global health burden, very significant independent risk factor for further morbidities, greatly decreases quality of life and has a very high associated cost to health systems. Patients experience complex treatment trajectories, high levels of treatment burden and can become frustrated and dissatisfied with their experience. I seek to investigate the potential of mobile health technologies to support advanced chronic kidney disease patients in their treatment, by iteratively developing and evaluating produced solutions with patients and experts, while working with NHS partners to form an implementation and deployment strategy for such solutions into routine practice.
