Digital self-management application for patients undergoing hemodialysis: influences on health awareness and frailty.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This pilot study had 12 people on dialysis use a health app for 3 months. It is a single-group observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause. It suggests the app may help with health awareness, but the group was very small.
