Could a phone app be the key to managing kidney disease?
NCT ID NCT07754097
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether a mobile app can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) track their health and give doctors useful information. Participants will use the app to log their blood pressure, blood sugar, medications, and meals, and the app will also show lab results. Researchers will watch how well people stick to logging this information and see if it relates to how the disease progresses. The goal is to gather evidence to build better digital tools for CKD management in the future.
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 for self-management of chronic kidney disease, used to log blood pressure, blood glucose, medication adherence, and meal photos.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better digital tools that help people with chronic kidney disease track their health and potentially slow disease progression.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it won't prove the app improves outcomes. It only looks for associations, and results may not apply to all CKD patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult patients aged 19 years or older and under 85 years. 2. Patients visiting the hospital for chronic kidney disease (CKD) management. 3. Patients diagnosed with CKD or identified as high-risk for CKD requiring continuous management (e.g., diabetes mellitus, hypertension, proteinuria, or decreased eGFR). 4. Patients capable of recording self-management data (blood pressure, diet, medication) independently or with assistance through the provided mobile application. 5. Patients whose clinical data can be collected from the Hospital Information System (HIS). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who do not sign the informed consent form or lack the capacity to fully understand the study protocol and express voluntary consent. 2. Patients currently undergoing maintenance dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). 3. Patients deemed unsuitable for participation in the study by the investigator.
