This technology can be particularly helpful to enhance communication in a home dialysis program, in which patients typically communicate with their physicians or nurses once per month when they visit the dialysis center.

Listen to this podcast, in which Martin Schreiber, MD, discusses the value of telehealth in home dialysis and its implications in the advancement of patient care.
