Abstract: A dialysis (e.g., hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) machine is instantiated with a blockchain application to help safeguard the machine from malicious attacks and provide a reviewable transaction log. The blockchain application may operate on a component level within a single dialysis machine or multiple dialysis machines that collectively operate within a blockchain community. Multiple rules and regulations may be utilized among the dialysis machines or dialysis machine components to ensure authorized instructions alter dialysis machine operations. The verification process can occur, for example, by discrete dialysis machine components verifying the instruction with a remote service or discrete dialysis machines verifying the instruction with the remote service. When a pre-set number of components or dialysis machines verify the instruction and develop a consensus, such as 50%, 75%, 90%, etc., the target component or machine executes the instruction.

Abstract: A remote service is implemented to automatically aggregate data across hemodialysis patients and hemodialysis patients and determine updated treatment options for patients to increase well-being and optimize performance of the hemodialysis machines. Patients or caregivers operating a hemodialysis machine or a local or remote user computing device associated with the hemodialysis machine can provide feedback regarding the patient's well-being to the remote service. The feedback can be provided at any of one or more times pre-treatment, during treatment, or post-treatment. Furthermore, the hemodialysis machine can be configured with one or more sensors that transmit data pertaining to device state of the hemodialysis machine, such as information about blood, dialysate used, saline solution, pump pressure, air trap and air detector, hemodialysis machine information (e.g., make and model), etc.
