CKD Specific Telemonitoring Platform to Minimize Adverse Outcomes in High Risk CKD Patients

Key takeaways

Doctors are testing a virtual care platform called VIEWER for people with kidney disease who are at high risk. They want to know if adding it to normal care cuts emergency room visits and hospital stays, and whether patients and staff feel virtual care is safe. This is a study that is just starting, so there are no results yet.
