Brief Summary

This study evaluates disease progression and management characteristics in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) using an integrated mobile application and hospital information system (HIS) clinical data. The main goals of this study are:

1. 1.To observe patient self-management recording performance and adherence (continuity of recording blood pressure, blood glucose, medication, and diet).
2. 2.To explore associations between integrated self-management data and disease progression or acute exacerbations (e.g., acute kidney injury, hyperkalemia).
3. 3.To gather foundational evidence for optimizing and improving future digital health applications for CKD management.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Self-Management Data Recording Adherence and Quality

  Continuity and completion rate of patient-entered self-management logs, including home blood pressure (twice daily), blood glucose (twice daily, if applicable), medication adherence, and meal photographs.

  Up to 12 months (evaluated at Visit 1 through Visit 7 at 2-month intervals)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Association Between Self-Management Adherence and Clinical Metrics

  Up to 12 months

• User Satisfaction with the CKD Self-Management Mobile Application

  At 4, 8, and 12 months

Study Arms (1)

CKD Patient Cohort

Adult patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or at high risk of CKD attending outpatient clinics. All participants will log self-management data (home blood pressure, blood glucose, medication, diet) via a dedicated mobile app and undergo prospective observation for 1 year with routine clinical data collection from the hospital information system.

Behavioral: CKD Self-Management Mobile Application

Interventions

CKD Self-Management Mobile Application BEHAVIORAL

A mobile application used by participants to log home blood pressure (twice daily), blood glucose (twice daily, if applicable), medication adherence, and meal photographs (5 days prior to visits). The application also integrates with the hospital information system (HIS) to provide lab test results for disease monitoring.

CKD Patient Cohort

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 19 Years - 84 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Outpatient population visiting the Division of Nephrology at Chungnam National University Hospital for chronic kidney disease (CKD) management.

You may qualify if:

• Adult patients aged 19 years or older and under 85 years.
• Patients visiting the hospital for chronic kidney disease (CKD) management.
• Patients diagnosed with CKD or identified as high-risk for CKD requiring continuous management (e.g., diabetes mellitus, hypertension, proteinuria, or decreased eGFR).
• Patients capable of recording self-management data (blood pressure, diet, medication) independently or with assistance through the provided mobile application.
• Patients whose clinical data can be collected from the Hospital Information System (HIS).

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who do not sign the informed consent form or lack the capacity to fully understand the study protocol and express voluntary consent.
• Patients currently undergoing maintenance dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
• Patients deemed unsuitable for participation in the study by the investigator.
