Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a pilot observational study to evaluate subjects with chronic kidney disease acceptance of an alert device linked to an informational website intended to increase recognition of chronic kidney disease, and to guide patients and providers to the safe delivery of care required for this disease. Primary device was a bracelet with the alternative of a key fob with same information supplied when requested. Patients usage of the device was evaluated by survey with Likert scale as to whether the device is 0 = not useful, 1 = somewhat useful, 2 = extremely useful
