Scoping review identifies mobile app features for self-management in diabetic kidney disease and chronic kidney disease, suggesting improvements.
Key Points
Mobile apps help individuals with diabetic kidney disease manage their condition but often lack comprehensive healthcare integration.
Of the reviewed apps, 91% included self-care monitoring, while only 18% featured performance incentives for users.
The scoping review analyzed 11 studies and aimed to identify features of apps that support self-management in diabetic kidney disease and related conditions.
Future app development should focus on integrating real-time provider communication and more personalized engagement strategies for better usability.
