Digital Dyadic Empowerment Program on Lifestyle Modification for Chronic Kidney Disease Management

Digital Dyadic Empowerment Program (DDEP) on Lifestyle Modification for Chronic Kidney Disease Management: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Feb 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out if the Digital Dyadic Empowerment Program (DDEP) can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and their care partners make healthy lifestyle changes. The main questions this study will answer are: * Does DDEP help protect kidney function? * Does DDEP support healthier daily habits? Researchers will compare two groups: * One group will receive the DDEP and get usual medical care. * The other group will get usual medical care only. Participants will: * Receive usual care with or without DDEP for six months. * Visit the clinic at the start and end of the study for health checks and tests. * Practice healthy habits at home with or without help from DDEP. This study aims to show if adding DDEP to regular care can make it easier for people with CKD and their care partners to live healthier lives.
