Publication number: 20230347027Abstract: A medical fluid delivery system and apparatus for remote machine updating and control are disclosed. An example medical fluid delivery apparatus includes a processor and a dialysis fluid circuit including at least one dialysis fluid pump. The processor determines a dialysis treatment or a preprogrammed task is not being performed by the least one dialysis fluid pump. After determining a dialysis treatment or a preprogrammed task is not being performed, the processor activates a connectivity agent to communicatively couple to a server via a network. The processor then receives, from the server via the connectivity agent, a command message to perform a preprogrammed task. The processor next deactivates the connectivity agent to stop communication with the server and causes the at least one dialysis fluid pump to perform the preprogrammed task.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventor: Christopher Daniel Gassman

Publication number: 20230290458Abstract: A platform for patient engagement and treatment compliance is disclosed. In an example, a system includes a home therapy machine configured to perform a renal failure therapy treatment. The system also includes a mobile communication device including an application having a calendar feature that identifies times/days in which the renal failure therapy treatment is scheduled to be performed. The application is configured to use the calendar feature to determine a time/day of a next scheduled renal failure therapy treatment. At a designated time before the next scheduled renal failure therapy treatment, the application causes a display interface of the personal mobile communication device to display a prompt for medical information. When the medical information is not received before the next scheduled renal failure therapy treatment, the application causes the home therapy machine to delay a start of the next scheduled renal failure therapy treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Christopher Daniel Gassman, Derek Wiebenson

Patent number: 11696977Abstract: A medical fluid delivery system and apparatus for remote machine updating and control are disclosed. An example medical fluid delivery apparatus includes a processor and a dialysis fluid circuit including at least one dialysis fluid pump. The processor is configured to receive a disinfection input to begin a disinfection procedure and cause the at least one dialysis fluid pump to perform a disinfection procedure on the dialysis fluid circuit using a disinfection fluid. The processor is also configured to, after the disinfection procedure is complete, start a disinfection timer. When a dialysis input is received before the disinfection timer reaches zero, the processor enables a dialysis treatment to be performed. When the disinfection timer reaches zero before the dialysis input is received, the processor prevents the dialysis treatment from being performed until the disinfection procedure is performed again.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2022Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignees: Baxter International Inc., Baxter Healthcare SAInventor: Christopher Daniel Gassman

Patent number: 11657905Abstract: A patient platform for patient engagement and treatment compliance is disclosed. In an example, a system includes a clinician server, a personal mobile communication device storing first registration information for communicating with the clinician server, and a home therapy machine assigned to a patient and configured to transmit treatment information related to a dialysis treatment performed on the patient. The home therapy machine is capable of being communicatively coupled to the clinician server via a separate Internet connection as specified by second registration information and the personal mobile communication device via a local connection. The home therapy machine is configured to transmit the treatment information to the personal mobile communication device when the second registration information is not available or the separate Internet connection is not available.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2022Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignees: Baxter International Inc.Inventors: Christopher Daniel Gassman, Derek Wiebenson

Patent number: 11393565Abstract: A patient platform for patient engagement and treatment compliance is disclosed. In an example, a home therapy machine of a patient is configured to transmit treatment information and a clinician database is configured to store a medical record and a registration file identifying the home therapy machine and a personal device of the patient as registered devices. The registration file also identifies whether the personal device installed an application for viewing the treatment information. A server is configured to store the treatment information to the medical record, receive an indication that the treatment information is to be displayed at the personal device, and determine from the registration file if the application is installed on the personal device. If the application is not installed, the server converts the treatment information to text message or Short Messaging Service (“SMS”) format for transmission.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignees: Baxter International Inc., Baxter Healthcare SAInventors: Christopher Daniel Gassman, Derek Wiebenson

Patent number: 10964417Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignees: Baxter International Inc., Baxter Healthcare SAInventors: Christopher Daniel Gassman, Derek Wiebenson
