Evaluation of the Impact of Remote Monitoring Using the Sharesource Connectivity Platform on Adherence to Automated Peritoneal Dialysis in 51 Patients.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND This study from a single center in Taiwan aimed to evaluate the impact of remote patient monitoring (RPM) using the Sharesource connectivity platform on adherence to automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) in 51 patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed data on 51 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) under APD. They were treated with a traditional APD machine HomeChoice (phase 1), changed to new APD machine HomeChoice Claria for 12 weeks (phase 2), then connected to the Sharesource platform for another 12 weeks (phase 3), and were followed up for 1 year. The non-adherence rate was compared between the 3 phases. The secondary outcomes included peritonitis rate, hospitalization rate, and hospitalization days, 1 year before and after receiving a new APD machine. Patients were
