First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

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.

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.
