腹膜透析已是許多慢性腎臟病病患的治療方式，然而在護理面仍有一些問題尚待改進：1)病患或其家屬需要在每次執行腹膜透析時填寫紙本醫療紀錄、2)紙本醫療記錄不利於醫護人員管理與長期追蹤病患資料、3)由於在家中缺少醫護人員直接照顧，病患或其家屬需要自行注意病患的身體健康狀況。
因此，本研究結合物聯網概念，為腹膜透析病患與醫護人員實作一個以HTML5網頁為基礎之資料收集系統。希望透過現有的無線血壓與脈搏計、無線體重計，以及專為CAPD患者設計之無線透析液秤重計，以用來減輕病患填寫醫療紀錄的負擔，並幫助醫護人員追蹤與管理病患的個案資料。此外，在網頁中本研究也加入了衛教資訊，並結合LINE通訊APP，幫助病患與醫護人員雙向溝通，達到遠端照護的目的。

Peritoneal dialysis is the treatment for many patients with chronic kidney disease. However, there are some issues to be addressed and improved: (1) Patients or their families need to fill the paper medical records after treatments, (2) Paper medical records are not convenient for caregivers to manage and to have a long-term follow up, (3) Due to the lack of caregivers’ direct caring, patients or their families need to pay more attention to the physical health of patients.
Therefore, the concept of Internet of Things is introduced to develop an HTML5 web-based data collection system for peritoneal dialysis patients and caregivers. To reduce the burden of patients, and help caregivers to track and manage patients’ medical records, the existing wireless blood pressure meter, the pulse meter, the wireless scale, and the specifically designed wireless CAPD dialysate weight sensor were selected because they had network capability. In addition to achieving the purpose of remote care, health education on the web page is provided and LINE APP is developed to help patients and caregivers to communicate with each other.
