Abstract

Background New wearable sensor networks together with smartphone applications are being examined and tested for their potential to monitor and manage patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To develop methods for analyses and monitor of map the intersection(s) of nephrology data in relation to CKD via wearable technology (MI band and Yu band). To study effects of daily life routine activities on data by a wearable device that can obtain real-time CKD data, help technologists understand medical aspects, and clinicians to understand technological processes them and provide assistance based on pre-determined specifications in CKD patients in New Delhi, India. Methods Total of 78 CKD patients were taken as a subject with an equal ratio of male and female at university college of medical sciences, New Delhi, India. Wearable monitoring devices were put on the wrist of CKD patients for 30 days, and a questionnaire was filled out by each patient. Both diabetes and cardiovascular disease, in turn, are known as important factors for developing CKD and aggravation toward once end-stage renal disease. In all subjects, blood glucose was measured on daily basis with day to day data of their monitoring of step count, blood pressure, calorie burnt, insulin dose, motion time i.e. every time when your body was in motion, sleep monitoring (deep sleep, light sleep, wake up time), monitoring heart rate, cardiac arrhythmias to know daily routines and recording them for health purpose. Results Present results showed that both wearable device readings showed there was a normal heart rate, more calorie burnt with better control of sugar control and average good sleep count in more physically workout, include walking in stroke patients compared to less physically workout CKD patients, identified by professional physiotherapists. Both device readings showed that after changing lifestyle routine among less physically active CKD patients, their post- CKD events normalise. Conclusions With this study we show that, by using, these wearable devices ensured online assistive feedback for CKD patients is possible with their health awareness, exercising and motivate further studies.
