Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global public health problem because of its high prevalence, low awareness, poor prognosis, and high medical costs. Effective follow-up management can facilitate timely adjustment of the treatment of the CKD patients and delay the disease progression. The application of internet of things (IoT) technology in dynamic monitoring and telemedicine is helpful for the self-management of patients with chronic diseases, and can provide convenient, intelligent, and humanized medical and health services. In the future, with the rapid growth of demands of CKD management and innovations in information technology, new medical IoT industry will accelerate the intelligent development of CKD management. Multi-disciplinary and multi-industrial collaboration should be promoted to solve current challenges, such as evaluation of actual effectiveness, the system design and construction, and the accessibility of intelligent healthcare services, to ensure that IoT products can improve clinical outcomes, reduce medical expenditure, and lower disease burden.
