Challenges in Health Management for (CKD) Patients
-
Nutritional Limitations: CKD patients face strict limits on protein, phosphorus, and potassium intake, complicating meal planning. Without tools for precise tracking, many patients risk worsening their condition.
-
Lack of Awareness: Many CKD patients are unaware of their nutritional needs or the impact of their diet on their health, leading to accidental consumption of harmful nutrients.
-
Tracking Challenges: Manual tracking of daily nutrient intake is time-consuming and error-prone, making it difficult for patients to consistently adhere to dietary recommendations.
-
Limited Access to Resources: Access to stage-specific dietary advice and meal ideas is often limited, leaving patients to navigate complex dietary restrictions alone.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) impacts over 35.5 million adults in the U.S., with its slow progression leaving 90% unaware of their condition.
