Background:
Kidney replacement therapies (KRTs) such as dialysis have a significant environmental impact, yet clinician engagement with sustainable kidney care remains limited. Our objective was to develop a mobile phone application to raise awareness of clinicians about Green Nephrology.
Methods:
We developed and piloted a web-based mobile application designed to raise awareness of "Green Nephrology" through short, interactive information modules. The app was introduced at the World Congress of Nephrology 2025. It presented users with real-world dilemmas and evidence-based facts about the environmental impact of kidney care choices. We discuss the possibilities of using such interactive modules for sensitizing doctors, nurses, and technicians.
Results:
Thirty-eight delegates used the app and reported it as intuitive, enjoyable, and thought-provoking.
Conclusion:
This feasibility pilot suggests that lightweight, gamified digital tools can effectively promote reflection and discussion on environmentally sustainable nephrology practices.
