The KidneyTel system provides a key link in the creation of a medical home for the kidney patient, and will be an enabling technology for nephrologists and dialysis providers in establishing Accountable Care Organizations (ACO’s) for the treatment of kidney patients.

Support and telehealth monitoring of the dialysis patients’health condition on non-dialysis days (and every day for the home dialysis patient) is a welcome area for improvement in current clinical practice. Every day attention is the standard of care we would all want for ourselves or a member of our family; and it is exactly what we can now provide with KidneyTel.

The KidneyTel system combines home telehealth monitoring device technology with an integrated care management program specifically tailored to the kidney patient. KidneyTel provides interactive daily contact and education with dialysis patients by monitoring health issues through a series of interactive questions on key health risk areas. In addition, KidneyTel collects daily vital signs of blood pressure, weight, and blood glucose. This information is transmitted each day to the KidneyTel IT system and call center. The KidneyTel clinical team is alerted to identified health risks and trends and can determine an appropriate response with patients and their families; while coordinating with their dialysis clinic, nephrologist, and other healthcare providers. The KidneyTel system includes advanced clinical algorithms and care pathways using evidence based medicine.
