Description
Julie Mataranga and co-authors describe building a digital self-management platform for kidney patients with those patients at the table. Their 2026 study reports the formative design of Renaclic, a French platform for chronic kidney disease education and daily self-care. Many existing tools, the team notes, skip the practical and emotional concerns patients raise most.
The work ran in three stages: benchmarking ten French platforms, interviewing patients and clinicians, and running co-design groups with card sorting. Gaps in current tools included home dialysis logistics and lifestyle guidance. Patients asked for one reliable information home, calmer wording at care transitions, and moderated contact with peers. The sessions produced the platform's content structure and a first prototype. The study is about design groundwork, not health outcomes, and it models user-led building.
