OP70 Cohort study of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with chronic kidney disease

Abstract

Participant difficulties in operating the mobile router and issues with app design/interface impeded testing. Phone calls to participants (191, 12.7 hours) were periodically made if data had not been received <14 days since consent or <21 days since previous test. Issues with one or both apps was the primary reason (37%) for lack of data, followed by connectivity issues (26%). Discussion There are substantial technical and practical issues in providing hardware and implementing digital apps for selftesting visual function with technologically inexperienced patients. Significant support infrastructure is required for patients and device management. Limited control over apps and the requirement for an internet connection added complexities to the testing process in this population. These challenges need to be addressed before implementing digital technologies for self-monitoring that require active patient engagement.
