Brief summary
Scaled Insights Behavioral AI will be used to improve clinicians ability to detect and understand: The likelihood of patients with kidney failure opting for peritoneal dialysis and to select the right personalized nudge to get CKD patients to choose peritoneal dialysis Scaled Insights' can utilize the data from this study to develop individualized nudges for healthcare professionals that can be broadly deployed within a digital platform so that clinics across the English speaking world can use it as a means of supporting patients with CKD in selecting peritoneal dialysis treatment. Using Scaled Insights novel Behavioral Artificial Intelligence solution, the proposed project has two aims: 1. to identify personality attributes of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease and correlating their personality attributes with their subsequent choice of dialysis. Once correlated into personality based clusters, the AI Model will then be able will determine which personality cluster each net new patient will fall into and therefore predict their specific likelihood of opting for peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis 2. once prediction is possible, customized nudges towards the selection of PD will be developed and tested to improve the likelihood that patients will opt for peritoneal dialysis Hypotheses: 1. Scaled Insights Behavioral AI will identify the personality characteristics of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease who are likely to opt for both peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis (Phase 1) 2. Scaled Insights Behavioral AI will identify the nudges that are most effective in encouraging or supporting patients with Chronic Kidney Disease in choosing peritoneal dialysis over hemodialysis (Phase 2)
Interventions
OTHERPredicting choice of dialysis
Language data collected using survey 1, will be analyzed using Scaled Insights Behavioral AI solution to identify personality attributes and values. The resulting individual scores will be plotted on a graph and be used to identify specific personality clusters of patients. Participants will respond to a survey that utilizes open and closed ended questions, asking broad questions about kidney failure and associated behaviors (e.g. diet, attitudes towards treatment). The open-ended questions will gather a natural language sample of 100-300 words whilst closed questions will capture data using Likert scale and multiple-choice responses. The open-ended questions will gather a natural language sample of 100-300 words for analysis using Scaled Insights Behavioral AI approach. This language sample will be analyzed using Scaled Insights Behavioral AI system to identify personality attributes and values. Patients will also be asked their likelihood of selecting PD over HD.
BEHAVIORALBehavioral nudges
Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease, participants will be provided with their predicted personalized nudge to increase their likelihood of either maintaining their choice of peritoneal dialysis, or switching from hemodialysis to peritoneal dialysis. Participants will respond to a survey that utilizes open and closed ended questions, asking broad questions about kidney failure and associated behaviors (e.g. diet, attitudes towards treatment). The open-ended questions will gather a natural language sample of 100-300 words whilst closed questions will capture data using Likert scale and multiple-choice responses.
