The feasibility of using an electronic device to self-monitor diet and fluid intake was assessed
using the treatment implementation model. The three patients on hemodialysis who participated
in this pilot study were asked to self-monitor diet and fluid intake for 12 weeks with a
personal digital assistant. The intervention was delivered as intended; however, participants
reported problems with usability, and compliance to self-monitoring was lower than desirable.
Further adjustments to the intervention will be made before testing efficacy.
