Co-design of a home-based haemoglobin monitoring system with participants with anaemia of chronic kidney disease.
The device/monitoring system being developed measures the haemoglobin and haematocrit levels in blood from a single drop of blood. By measuring these blood parameter, participants are able to monitor their haemoglobin level at home. The use of the device will take place in the participant's home to simulate what the investigators believe will be the ideal location for people who would prefer to self-manage their condition. This study is a unique opportunity to gain feedback on the future design and development of a home-based monitoring system through user evaluation. As this is an adaptive/ iterative study design, this will give the Sponsor the opportunity to make changes to the user interface and user platform based on the feedback received from the end user.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Single fingerprick to measure haemoglobin and haematocrit measurements using a potential haemoglobin home monitoring system.
Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
Hull, United Kingdom
Qualitative capture of user feedback- focus groups
User feedback gathered from participants using the blood measurement device will be used to inform the changes necessary to develop a successful home-based haemoglobin monitoring system. Feedback will be analysed based on framework analysis.
