Fig. 1: Wearable digital healthcare concept for CKD monitoring.
From: Wearable sensors for monitoring chronic kidney disease

a current CKD monitoring in clinic: non-real-time blood and urine tests. b Future wearable healthcare for CKD. Wearable patch will remotely and continuously monitor a range of biomarkers for CKD through either sweat or ISF. Collected sensor readings can be classified and analysed with big data techniques. This system will provide not only an early clinical intervention but also an efficient management of CKD.
