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
