Background: With an aging population and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for end-stage renal disease due to its superior clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness compared to dialysis. Although EHR-integrated medication reminders have the potential to enhance adherence in transplant patients, their feasibility require further investigation.
Objective: The objective of this pilot study was to assess the feasibility of an integrated medication reminder tool for kidney transplant patients in terms of experienced usability and satisfaction.

Background And Hypothesis: In search for controlled access to expensive innovative orphan drugs, a national access route called "Orphan Drug Access Protocol" (ODAP) was developed and piloted with lumasiran, a new drug for patients with primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1). Here, we present a two-year evaluation of this pilot study.
Methods: Specialists from the Dutch PH1 Expert Centre and the national ODAP steering group developed a protocol for controlled and conditional treatment of children and adults with PH1 with lumasiran.
Background: The field of digital health solutions (DHS) has grown tremendously over the past years. DHS include tools for self-management, which support individuals to take charge of their own health. The usability of DHS, as experienced by patients, is pivotal to adoption.
