Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a chronic condition where the kidneys' functions' progression is lost or slowed in the body. Once our kidneys are damaged, excretion process in the body cannot be carried out effectively. Important information is needed for CKD patients such as food nutrition, consequences and also daily healthcare management. Thus, the focus of this project is to develop a multimedia application for CKD patients that can provide self-care guidelines for their daily life. This project is developed using Adobe Flash CS5.5 that provides the outcome which is CKD patient self-care guidelines flash tool. Subsequently, a simple website of CKD patient self-care guidelines has been developed using Adobe Dreamweaver that acts as a tool to disseminate this multimedia application. From this project, a new interactive design of CKD self-care management has been created and more effective information channel is developed for them. Heuristic evaluation and usability test have been conducted on the experts and real users to ensure that the project delivered meet the users' expectations.
