Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients on hemodialysis face significant challenges in managing their care, including limited appointment availability, long waiting times, and difficulties in scheduling treatments. Additionally, research shows many patients lack crucial knowledge about how dietary and lifestyle modifications can slow disease progression. This project aims to develop DialyzeEase, a web application designed to address both challenges by streamlining appointment booking processes and providing personalized educational content to improve patients' quality of life. The research methodology followed a combined approach, beginning with a literature survey to validate the problem, background, and specific requirements. These findings were further evaluated through surveys with 41 respondents and interviews with two doctors from local hospitals. Stakeholder analysis using an onion model identified key actors in the dialysis care ecosystem, while system modeling established a robust design framework through functional, object, and dynamic models. Findings revealed that most patients rely on manual booking at hospitals, with the majority reporting limited slot availability and long waiting times as major challenges. There is also a significant administrative burden on medical staff. Additionally, patients struggle with lifestyle management. The developed prototype addresses these issues through an integrated appointment management system and a personalized knowledge hub that delivers CKD stage-specific recommendations.
