Abstract

A wearable interface device, such as a head-mounted display, provides an augmented reality and / or display system and may be used in accordance with medical devices and the performance of medical treatments, particularly a dialysis machine and a dialysis treatment. The wearable interface device may be worn by a user, such as a health care practitioner (HCP), in connection with remotely monitoring and / or controlling the dialysis machine during the dialysis treatment. The HCP may receive alerts and / or other information concerning the dialysis treatment from the dialysis machine that are displayed on the wearable interface device and may use the wearable interface device to control the dialysis machine via the exchange of wireless signals with the dialysis machine. The wearable interface device may recognize commands from the HCP, such as gestures, to provide non-contact operation of the wearable interface device and remote control of the dialysis machine by the HCP.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] This patent application is related to processing devices and interfaces in the medical device area.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Hemodialysis is a process which employs a machine that includes a dialyzer to aid patients whose renal function has deteriorated to the point where their body cannot adequately rid itself of toxins. The dialyzer may include a semi-permeable membrane, the membrane serving to divide the dialyzer into two chambers. Blood is pumped through one chamber and a dialysis solution through the second. As the blood flows by the dialysis fluid, impurities, such as urea and creatinine, diffuse through the semi-permeable membrane into the dialysis solution. The electrolyte concentration of the dialysis fluid may be set so as to maintain electrolytic balance within the patient. Other purification techniques and processes may additionally be used. Hemodialysis may be generally referred to herein as “dialysis,” although it is noted that other types o...
