Fostering Self-Empowerment in CKD Patients Through Food Choice Mapping

This project aims to develop mapping of food choices available for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients when dining out in Singapore. Following the mapping, a mobile application will be developed based on renal dining out food map mobile application (RENDOFOMAP) and trialed on patients with CKD. The specific aims of the project include: 1. Mapping out food choices suitable for patients with CKD when dining out in Singapore which will eventually be translated into a mobile application incorporating simple AI functionality. 2. To evaluate the impact of using RENDOFOMAP on self-empowerment, quality of life, nutritional status, and serum biochemistry in patients with CKD. 3. To evaluate the acceptability and user experience of RENDOFOMAP Participants with CKD will use the newly developed mobile application to find out if there is improvement in self-empowerment, quality of life, nutritional status, and serum biochemistry.
