This study tests whether watching interactive videos (where you can click or tap) compared to regular videos helps people on hemodialysis understand their treatment better and feel more in control. The goal is to see if this type of education improves health outcomes.
This study tests a device that uses light to check the health of your AV access (the blood vessel connection used for dialysis) without touching it. It may help doctors spot problems early.
