Summary
This study tests whether a digital dashboard can help people with chronic kidney disease in China better manage their own care. Participants and their healthcare providers receive training on using the secure online tool, which is designed to support self-management. The study will measure changes in patients' self-management behaviors, self-efficacy, and number of complications.
