The advent of virtual healthcare has reshaped patient management paradigms across various medical domains. This analysis examines the potential effectiveness of treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) using Reset Kidney Health's virtual, multidisciplinary, and integrated care approach. The pilot study concentrated on evaluating the impact of this care model on the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) of CKD patients over an eight-month period. The analyses showed that a majority of patients managed with the Reset Kidney Health Model experienced stability or improvements in their kidney function, as measured by eGFR. While this pilot study has several limitations, these early results suggest the potential benefits of digital healthcare innovations in chronic disease management and provide an argument for the broader integration of virtual care strategies in healthcare systems. These initial findings could lay the groundwork for further research into effectively integrating digital healthcare in chronic disease management.
虚拟医疗的出现重塑了各个医学领域的患者管理模式。本分析探讨了采用“重置肾脏健康”的虚拟、多学科综合护理方法治疗慢性肾脏病(CKD)的潜在效果。该试点研究专注于评估这种护理模式在八个月期间对CKD患者估算肾小球滤过率(eGFR)的影响。分析表明,采用“重置肾脏健康”模式管理的大多数患者,其肾功能(通过eGFR衡量)保持稳定或有所改善。尽管这项试点研究存在若干局限性,但这些早期结果表明了数字医疗创新在慢性病管理中的潜在益处,并为在医疗系统中更广泛地整合虚拟护理策略提供了依据。这些初步发现可为进一步研究如何有效将数字医疗整合到慢性病管理中奠定基础。
