Automate Peritoneal Dialysis Care: Building a Healthy, Sustainable Future
TMU-WFH: Green Smart Dialysis Summary To tackle Taiwan's high dialysis prevalence, TMU-Wan Fang Hospital (TMU-WFH) integrates Shared Decision-Making (SDM) and AI healthcare into its "Green Smart Dialysis" initiative, shifting from passive care to active patient empowerment. •Digital Empowerment: Introduced in 2022, the "Intelligent Health Education Platform" added "Online Gamification Tools" in 2025. This drove patient satisfaction from 4.45 to 4.98 (5-point scale) and eased decision-making pressure. •Telemedicine: Combining Automated Peritoneal Dialysis (APD) with remote video monitoring creates a real-time data feedback loop. This cuts hospital visits and transport emissions, ensuring eco-friendly care. •Clinical Breakthroughs: The hospital's Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) selection rate rose from 16.21% to 28.7%, with a nation-leading 91.2% APD utilization rate among home dialysis patients. •Sustainability: This pathway saves ~50% in water and electricity compared to traditional hemodialysis, directly advancing SDGs 13, 4, and 3 by uniting medical quality with climate action.
