Award for Excellence
The app developed and trialled by
staff Logan Hospital and the CSIRO
to make the lives of peritoneal
dialysis patients easier has received
the highest honour at this year’s
Board Chair Awards.
CN Marnie Budd who worked on developing
the PD Buddy app, said it guided PD patients
through every step of their dialysis treatment
by monitoring health measures, providing
educational information and allowing staff to
send SMS messages to the patients.
She said the web-portal enabled clinical care
providers to view their client’s progress and
provide individualised care.
“Patients enter and monitor their own health
parameters which are then automatically
uploaded to the web portal. LBHN Executive Director Jacinta Powell said
she was extremely proud of the staff involved
