Smart sensors for real-time monitoring of patients on dialysis

Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 17 April 2020; doi:10.1038/s41581-020-0287-4Peritoneal dialysis and haemodialysis are lifesaving but intrusive treatments that are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Despite the considerable time patients with kidney failure spend tied to their life-saving therapies, relatively few vital signs are monitored. Smart, unobtrusive approaches to track clinical parameters could help to individualize treatments and improve patient outcomes.
