A Messaging App Empowering Lifestyle Modification in Chronic Kidney Disease (LINE Official Account “Kidney Lifestyle”): Platform Development and Usability Study
The LINE-based digital dyadic empowerment platform "Kidney Lifestyle" demonstrated promising usability and engagement. It has clinical potential to improve CKD control by extending health education, enabling continuous self-monitoring, and allowing clinicians to track patients' daily living conditions. To enhance effectiveness, future work should include a larger-scale feasibility trial while pursuing ongoing platform optimization, specifically by simplifying navigation pathways, adding a return option, and improving interactive feedback. The platform is now publicly accessible via LINE ID search, as provided in phase 1 results.
