Abstract

Nowadays, many people are suffering from the disease that their kidneys no longer function adequately. Knowing their own physical conditions accurately and then recognizing the necessity of self-management are the key to the exploration of a better quality of life (QOL) for such patients. In this paper, we present a trial of developing a visual interface system for dialysis patients with the aid of information and communication technologies. A patient can access his/her own record of blood test results through a mobile phone, where its visualization is designed and simplified especially for use by kidney patients. However, not all patients take positive actions toward the management of their own health condition. One of the reasons why this is so would be that the relationship between cause and effect in one's life habits is not visible. The system also provides a facility for promoting self-management by the patients. The results of a preliminary experiment carried out in a hospital are discussed.
