Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) Treatment Record Mobile App

Abstract

Continuous ambulatory PD was introduced in Malaysia in 1983 in a university hospital and a year later in a public general hospital. CAPD patients need to do daily treatment at their home and the result needs to be recorded in the book record given by the hospital. Kidney patients undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) treatment are performed 4 times a day at home and need to record incoming and outgoing PD solutions, hygiene of PD and UF solutions manually in a PD book given by the hospital. Patients need to bring the book together during the appointment. Besides, the doctor only can view the patient record manually during an appointment session. This project proposed a mobile application to facilitate patient to key in the daily treatment data and for the doctor to view patient’s record periodically. The mobile application will be developed using MIT App Inventor and Firebase was used for login process. The data keyed in by patients will be saved in Google Sheets that link with the App. The result of this project is that kidney patients can key in their daily treatment data into the apps while the doctor can monitor the patients record remotely.
