First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tested a smartphone app (SKI App) that uses blockchain and AI to help dialysis patients track their health data and get personalized care tips. The goal was to see if the app could reduce emergency room visits and hospital stays compared to a basic health app. The study was terminated early, so we don't have full results.
