NCT ID NCT07804316
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026
Summary
Researchers in Singapore are testing a mobile app that helps people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) choose suitable foods when dining out. The app, called RENDOFOMAP, lets users photograph their meals and provides guidance based on a map of kidney-friendly options. In this pilot study, 30 adults with CKD stages 3b to 5 will use the app for 12 days over 3 months. The goal is to see if the app improves their sense of empowerment, quality of life, and nutritional health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A mobile application that maps kidney-friendly food choices when dining out in Singapore
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this app could help people with chronic kidney disease feel more in control of their diet and improve their quality of life when eating out.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The app's impact on health measures like blood tests may be limited over the short 3-month period.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Are fluent in English. This is necessary to ensure clear communication and understanding of study procedures and materials. * Adequate proficiency in using smartphone i.e. downloading app, taking photo, completing e-forms within the mobile applications. This is essential for participants to effectively use the mobile application being tested. * Diagnosed with CKD Stage 3B-5. This targets the specific patient population that the study aims to benefit. Exclusion Criteria: * Only fluent in languages other than English. This could hinder effective communication and understanding of the study. * Diagnosis of cognitive deficit or neurological disorder. These conditions could impair the ability to follow study procedures or provide reliable data. * Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c\>8.5%). This condition could introduce additional health risks and confound study results. * Recent hypoglycemic episodes. This could pose a safety risk during the study. * Newly initiated on dialysis or planning for dialysis within the next 6 months. These patients may have rapidly changing health conditions that could affect study outcomes. * Decompensated liver cirrhosis. This condition could complicate the interpretation of study results. * Pregnant and lactating. These conditions could introduce additional variables that affect study outcomes. * Inability to provide consent. This ensures that all participants can legally and ethically participate in the study
