Digital interventions for chronic kidney disease

Digital rehabilitation and self-management interventions for chronic kidney disease.

Summary

 

Chronic kidney disease is a long-term condition in which kidney function declines over time which means that the kidneys do not perform as well as they should. Remote digital health interventions to enhance physical activity provide a potential solution to improve the sedentary behaviour, physical inactivity, and poor health-related quality of life that are typical of chronic conditions, particularly for people with CKD. Physical activity and emotional self-management have the potential to enhance health-related quality of life.

 

Health Technology Wales researchers searched for evidence on the clinical and cost effectiveness of digital rehabilitation and self-management interventions for CKD.

 

Based on the evidence identified, HTW’s Assessment Group concluded to progress this topic to Evidence Appraisal.
