Summary

This study tests whether a personalized digital care plan, given at hospital discharge, can reduce serious health problems after acute kidney injury (AKI). About 6,000 adults who had AKI in hospital will be randomly assigned to receive either the tailored plan or usual care. The plan includes education, medication guidance, and follow-up lab tests, all delivered through Alberta's electronic health record system.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: personalized digital care plan
What this could lead to: If it works, this could improve outcomes for people leaving hospital after acute kidney injury, reducing the risk of death, kidney failure, and heart problems.
What could go wrong: This is a large pragmatic trial, but the intervention is a digital care plan, not a drug. Success depends on how well it is implemented and followed by patients and doctors.
