A novel healthcare tool for the active ageing with chronic kidney disease

Project description

Personalised at-home management of chronic kidney disease

Patients suffering from chronic diseases need long-term or lifetime monitoring of their renal function, which due to the technology involved is still mostly conducted in hospitals. The EU-funded CKDSens project aims to improve current healthcare and give the opportunity for personalised management to patients with chronic kidney disease. The project is introducing an innovative point-of-care platform able to perform early diagnosis of kidney dysfunction thanks to the real-time daily monitoring of key renal biomarkers. Through the decentralisation of biomarkers' analysis, diagnostic systems ensure more sustainable management of resources while individual patients can lead a more active life and receive equal treatment.
