Abstract: Methods and systems for delivery of digital data in connection with medical treatment and patient care include detecting a current medical condition of a patient receiving medical treatment and delivering electronic informational data to the patient over a network. The informational data can be selected for delivery based on the current medical condition of the patient. The informational data can includes a plurality of informational data content options, and the patient can choose one or more of the informational data content options for delivery to the patient over the network. The chosen content can be displayed to the patient on a digital data display device, such as a touch screen monitor.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for patient care detect a current medical condition of a patient receiving medical treatment, e.g., by sensing blood pressure, heart rate, weight, glucose level, hemoglobin level, and/or blood potassium level (all by way of example) and transmit information regarding that medical condition to a digital data processing system disposed remotely from the medical treatment apparatus. The medical treatment apparatus can be, for example, one for peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis, and the medical condition can be sensed by sensors coupled to or otherwise utilized in connection with such apparatus.

Abstract: The invention provides methods and devices for data entry, particularly with respect to patient care and medical treatment data. In one aspect, a data entry device according to the invention includes a touch screen for entering patient data during a treatment session and a digital processor for managing the display (e.g., of prompts) on the touch screen, as well as the input, display, communication, collection and/or storage of the entered data. In these regards, for example, the processor (or other apparatus associated with the data entry device) can be adapted for wired or wireless communication with other such devices, databases, servers or otherwise, as well as with medical treatment apparatus, such as dialysis machines.
