Testing a wearable scale to predict fluid buildup in dialysis patients

This trial is testing a wearable device called the Bodyport Cardiac Scale — a special bathroom scale that measures fluid and heart function — to see if it can predict when dialysis patients might develop serious problems from fluid overload. Researchers want to understand whether the measurements from this scale can warn doctors early enough to prevent hospital visits or other complications. If successful, this could help people on peritoneal dialysis stay healthier by catching problems before they become serious.

People with kidney failure on peritoneal dialysis often struggle with fluid buildup in their bodies, which can lead to dangerous complications and hospital stays. Right now, doctors don't have a simple, early-warning way to catch these problems before they happen. This study exists to see whether a wearable scale can give patients and doctors that early warning.
