Abstract:
Nephrolithiasis disease requires the management and registration of the different values on a daily basis. These values include the monitoring of daily water consumption and the urinary pH, which should be registered in a mobile application. One of the authors of this paper had the disease and decided to design and develop the Hydriney application. This application meets the needs of people who want to manage all aspects of nephrolitiasis condition and keep it under control. The application tracks almost all aspects of the kidney stones treatment and provides detailed reports, charts, and statistics to share with the urologist. The user should set the daily goals and transcribe the medicine prescription to the mobile application. Then, the application will help him to automate the records for better decision-making in treatment of kidney stones disease. This paper shows that nephrolithiasis management is a health area where Hydriney can enhance the quality of life for people living with this condition.
