Behavioral AI to Predict and Increase Peritoneal Dialysis Uptake

Use of Behavioral Artificial Intelligence to Predict and Increase Uptake of Peritoneal Dialysis [AI-Dialysis]

Scaled Insights Behavioral AI will be used to improve clinicians ability to detect and understand: The likelihood of patients with kidney failure opting for peritoneal dialysis and to select the right personalized nudge to get CKD patients to choose peritoneal dialysis

Scaled Insights' can utilize the data from this study to develop individualized nudges for healthcare professionals that can be broadly deployed within a digital platform so that clinics across the English speaking world can use it as a means of supporting patients with CKD in selecting peritoneal dialysis treatment.

Using Scaled Insights novel Behavioral Artificial Intelligence solution, the proposed project has two aims:

1. to identify personality attributes of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and correlating their personality attributes with their subsequent choice of dialysis. Once correlated into personality based clusters, the AI Model will then be able will determine which personality cluster each net new patient will fall into and therefore predict their specific likelihood of opting for peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis
2. once prediction is possible, customized nudges towards the selection of PD will be developed and tested to improve the likelihood that patients will opt for peritoneal dialysis

Hypotheses:

1. Scaled Insights Behavioral AI will identify the personality characteristics of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease who are likely to opt for both peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis (Phase 1)
2. Scaled Insights Behavioral AI will identify the nudges that are most effective in encouraging or supporting patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in choosing peritoneal dialysis over hemodialysis (Phase 2)

Inclusion Criteria:

• Phase 1: US and UK adult patients aged 18+ years, with Chronic Kidney Disease stage 4-5.
• Phase 2: US and UK adult patients aged 18+ years, with Chronic Kidney Disease stage 4-5.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Phase 1: Young people aged <18 years. People who do not have Chronic Kidney Disease. People who reside outside of the USA and UK.
• Phases 2: Young people aged <18 years. People who do not have Chronic Kidney Disease stage 4-5. People who reside outside of the USA and UK.
