Does self-monitoring diet and fluid intake using a mobile application improve outcomes in adults receiving hemodialysis?
A mobile application for self-monitoring diet and fluid intake is feasible and acceptable for hemodialysis patients, though larger studies are needed to determine clinical efficacy.
Welch et al. (2013) studied Hemodialysis (n=44). Dietary Intake Monitoring Application (DIMA) vs. Daily Activity Monitor Application (DAMA) was evaluated on Feasibility and acceptability. The Dietary Intake Monitoring Application (DIMA) was feasible and acceptable for self-monitoring diet and fluid intake among adults receiving hemodialysis, despite few significant effects on outcomes.
