They and their doctors deployed home dialysis. They raced ahead of other specialities in digital health, releasing test results real-time to patients through the bespoke app PatientView. As the digital landscape evolved and data security mandates tightened, the UK Kidney Association (UKKA) needed a modern system. Rebuilding the platform was cost-prohibitive.

Equally significant, since launching GP data integration six months ago, over 2.5 million patients have chosen to also add their GP data alongside their hospital information, delivering a single patient record at scale. This enriched record is driving stronger engagement, with these patients’ monthly logins increasing from 35% to 45%. The uplift reflects the significant value people see when they can access, understand, and manage a fuller view of their health.

These symptoms, while impactful, are not always captured during routine clinical visits. CMyLife, an e-health program governed by the Dutch Association for Haematology, aimed to address this by designing and implementing a Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) App through co-creation between patients, healthcare professionals, and academic researchers.
