Usefulness of a Mobile Information Management System for Haemodialysis Patient

Usefulness of a Mobile Information Management System for Haemodialysis Patients and the Prospect of Participatory Medicine

The investigators developed and used the DialysisNet mobile application for physicians and Avatar Beans mobile application for haemodialysis patients. Patient-centred data integration and exchange were based on the American Society for Testing and Materials Continuity of Care Record standard. The investigators enrolled 10 patients and 4 physicians. Questionnaires to evaluate user experience and usefulness were administered before and after use.
