Abstract

Dialysis patients often have inadequate health literacy, affecting self-care and outcomes. This study used LINE app to provide personalized health education to Taiwanese dialysis patients and collected physiological data via wearables. While physical activity levels remained unchanged, participants' disease literacy significantly improved post-intervention. Patients' health literacy will evaluate by Health Literacy Questionnaire for Taiwanese Hemodialysis patients (HLQHD). The findings highlight technology-driven interventions' potential to enhance health literacy and disease management among dialysis patients.
