Jennifer Ellis, a 62-year-old African American who has been recently diagnosed with
chronic kidney disease (CKD). She has been prescribed several medications she must
take every day.
The nephrologist has stressed the importance of leading a healthy life style to slow or
stop the progression of CKD.
She is interested in ways in which she can better track her health and make healthier
choices.
She is a high school graduate and iPhone user, mostly to send text messages to family
and friends.
She is eager to learn how to use an app that can help her manager her CKD.
Prepare the following slides as if you are presenting them to the patient.
mHealth Application Slide (one to three slides):Identify a developed and
reliablemHealthapp that could benefit the patient. Describe the app including its:
Name
Purpose
Intended audience
Mobile device(s) upon which it will operate
Where to download or obtain it. Include a working link if it is to be downloaded
from a website.
