Overview
Brief Summary
The Nephrocare mHealth project supports patients with Chronic Kidney Disease with a mobile application and telemonitoring. The application includes the follow-up of blood pressure.
Detailed Description
Patients that are included in the Nephrocare mHealth project send their blood pressure results through an app or online website. The clinical decision support system will alert the patient, as well as the general practitioner and the hospital when the blood pressure is too high or low. In addition the clinical decision support will calculate monthly averages and all the data are connected with the electronic patient files.
