What this research studies
This research focuses on helping patients with kidney stones increase their urine output through a digital intervention called sipIT. The intervention is designed to provide personalized support and reminders to encourage patients to drink more fluids, which is crucial for preventing the recurrence of kidney stones. By utilizing a just-in-time adaptive approach, the tool aims to fit seamlessly into patients' daily lives and improve adherence to fluid intake guidelines. The study will involve a randomized controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of this intervention in increasing urine output among participants.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adults aged 21 and older who have a history of kidney stones and struggle with adhering to fluid intake recommendations.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have a history of kidney stones or those who are unable to use digital tools may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly reduce the recurrence of painful kidney stones and associated healthcare costs for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promise in using digital tools for health interventions, indicating potential success for this approach in improving patient adherence.
