FREE BLOG HBI Awards 2018: Real time patient data monitoring for dialysis patients

In the majority of dialysis centres in India, patient data is recorded on paper and manually managed. To change this, NephroPlus, the largest dialysis network in India, has created a platform to monitor and maintain patient data digitally.

This data has captured information on the Indian population which can be applied to further clinical research and awareness of nephrology.

FREE BLOG HBI Awards 2018: Urine tests at home using smartphones
