Blackburn Labs partnered with One Track Health to build a cross-platform app that helps people on dialysis (and their care partners) easily view, track, and share key blood test results, and stay informed with CKD-focused education.

Customizable Test Types & Ranges
Add new test types you track frequently and edit test ranges based on your physician's specific recommendations for your individual health goals.
Multiple Profile Support

View results in a monthly color-coded grid or adjustable long-term graphs to identify trends and make informed decisions between appointments.

Helping dialysis patients track what matters most
Blackburn Labs partnered with One Track Health to develop a cross-platform mobile and web application that empowers people on dialysis to easily track, visualize, and share critical blood test results.
The challenge
Dialysis patients managing chronic kidney disease (CKD) face a complex healthcare landscape: multiple provider portals, frequent lab work, and difficulty remembering test results between appointments. Patients and their care partners needed a simple, patient-friendly way to monitor key health metrics and stay informed about their condition.
Our solution
We built a comprehensive health tracking platform featuring:
- Intuitive visualization: A color-coded dashboard instantly shows whether test results fall within physician-recommended ranges, using a simple green/red system that makes complex lab data accessible at a glance.
- Flexible tracking; Five pre-configured dialysis-critical tests (Albumin, Calcium, Hemoglobin, Phosphorus, Potassium) with the ability to add custom test types and personalized reference ranges based on individual physician guidance.
- Multi-user support: Family members can create separate profiles and track different conditions within the same app, while sharing capabilities let care partners stay informed and provide better support.
- Trend analysis: Monthly grid views and long-term graphs help users identify patterns, make informed decisions, and have more productive conversations with their healthcare team.
- Educational content: Curated CKD-focused resources, including blogs, newsletters, and updates on new treatments, clinical trials, and advocacy opportunities.
- Enterprise-ready: White-label platform for dialysis centers with EHR/EMR integration, custom branding, and in-app patient communications. Also supports clinical trial applications with protocol reminders and adherence tracking.
The impact
One Track Health won the KidneyX Patient Innovator Challenge, a prestigious award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and American Society of Nephrology (ASN) recognizing innovations that improve care for people with kidney disease.
The platform is now available as a free app on iOS, Android, and web, helping dialysis patients take control of their health data and make better-informed decisions about their care.
