Medical fluid delivery system including a mobile platform for patient engagement and treatment compliance

Abstract

A patient platform for patient engagement and treatment compliance is disclosed. In an example, a processor is configured to obtain medical information from a patient for engagement and treatment compliance tracking. To obtain the medical information, the processor causes a user interface to be displayed with fields to be populated with medical information. After receiving a selection of a data field, the processor provides an option to enter medical information from an image. If the option is selected, the processor receives a recorded image of a medical device or a screen of a medical device, extracts text from the image, enables a selection of at least a portion of the text from the image, and writes the selected text from the image into the data field of the user interface as the medical information. The processor transmits the medical information to a patient medical record stored in a clinician database.

Description

Background technique

[0001] Currently, prolonged contact with patients outside of a healthcare setting is an almost impossible task. Similar to starting a gym membership or buying a treadmill, often many patients start off fit. For example, at first, it is easy for patients to accept medical treatment (such as medical fluid delivery therapy) that is performed by themselves in the patient's home. For treatment, patients must hook themselves up to a medical fluid delivery machine (or a container of fluid for kidney failure) to remove toxin buildup from the blood. Part of the treatment may include tasks that the patient must perform, such as weighing oneself, measuring one's blood pressure, and / or recording information related to one's treatment. Information from patient records is often reviewed by clinicians to ensure treatment is being administered as prescribed. Clinicians also review recorded data to determine if treatment adjustments are needed.

Embodiment Construction

[0072] A medical fluid delivery system is disclosed herein. An example medical fluid delivery system is configured to improve patient participation in medical care, such as medical fluid delivery therapy. The medical fluid delivery system is configured to provide patients with more transparency about their treatment and at least some control to guide their treatment, while providing resources to educate or otherwise assist the patient throughout the treatment process. An example medical fluid delivery system is configured to provide patient participation regardless of the type or set of features of the medical device related to the treatment of the patient or the personal mobile communication device. Such a configuration makes the disclosed medical fluid delivery system compatible with virtually any patient condition.
