Hemodialysis Health Management Model

Hemodialysis Health Management Model - the Application of Wearable Devices, Exercise and Nutritional Intervention

Aim: By application of wearable devices and health management platform to strengthen physical activity and improved life quality in hemodialysis patients.

Background: End stage renal disease (ESRD) is a global public health issue. The dialysis therapy brings huge economic burden to many countries. If patients are able to monitor their lifestyle, it not only promotes health, but also reduces the cost of health care.

Aim: By application of wearable devices and health management platform to strengthen physical activity and improved life quality in hemodialysis patients.

Material and Methods: The investigators plan to recruit 30 CKD patients as trial subjects for intervention. The intervention included wearable devices and health management platform for 24 weeks. Patients record their own diet diary by a smartphone application, and their exercise-related data are collected by wearable devices. Then, all the collected information will be upload to health management platform. The investigators compare physical and laboratory examinations before and after the intervention.
