Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the ninth leading cause of death in the United States. Kidney damage is not reversible, but CKD can be stopped or its progression can be slowed. Diabetes and hypertension are the two main causes of CKD. Medical directors, nurse leaders, home care providers, and public health officials must be aware of the risks and take action to screen patients and educate them on how to prevent or manage CKD. Exercise lowers blood glucose and blood pressure and can prevent CKD. Smartwatches can be used by patients and monitored by healthcare providers to adjust physical activity, which can help stop or slow the progression of CKD.
