- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give people with chronic kidney disease a simple way to manage their symptoms from home, improving their quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 60 people. It is not designed to prove the app improves health outcomes, only that it is usable and acceptable.
