- Original description
Adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have many symptoms that lower their quality of life and put a huge burden on the healthcare system. Recently, eHealth solutions have been introduced in chronic kidney disease care, helping with symptom management and improving patient outcomes. While symptom management via electronic health (eHealth) is emerging in other countries, it has not commenced in Vietnam. This study aims to develop and evaluate a remote symptom assessment and management program delivered through a mobile application for adults with CKD living in Vietnam to help them manage their symptoms. This is the first intervention program focusing on symptom assessment and management in Vietnam. By assessing and managing symptoms, adults with CKD can better self-manage their symptoms.Read full original descriptionShow less
