Description

Peritoneal dialysis self-management device

The invention relates to a self-management device for peritoneal dialysis, in particular to transmit the detection value data obtained by the home patient to a management system through a back-end server for providing medical personnel with immediate tracking control.

Due to the busy life and eating habits of modern people, according to the statistics of the Department of Health of the Executive Yuan in recent years, nephritis, renal syndrome and renal lesions have been listed as one of the top ten causes of death among Chinese people. At the same time, the National Health Bureau survey data also pointed out that The prevalence of chronic kidney disease in China is about 11.3%. It is estimated that there are more than 2 million kidney disease patients in the country, ranking the highest in the world. While patients with kidney disease are waiting for a suitable kidney transplant, most of them are treated with dialysis. With the rapid advancement and development of domestic dialysis medical quality, in addition to hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis is also available. Peritoneal dialysis is performed by implanting a permanent catheter into the abdominal cavity. The dialysate is poured into the abdominal cavity through the catheter for a period of time. The peritoneum is used as a semi-permeable membrane for dialysis, and the waste and excess water that cannot be metabolized by the kidney in the body are removed. The dialysate in the peritoneal cavity is then drained out of the body via a catheter, and a new dialysate is introduced. Therefore, the patient can choose to perform peritoneal dialysis at home.

In view of the rapid growth of patients choosing home-based peritoneal dialysis, the color, turbidity and weight of the liquid before and after dialysis are extremely necessary and difficult to collect for the medical staff. Analysis and monitoring of the relevant factors in the liquid after dialysis The value is an important reference for controlling the patient's condition. However, most patients will choose to discard the dialysate after dialysis. As a result, the incomplete medical records may make it impossible for medical staff to immediately grasp the dialysis status and care of the patient. At the same time, when the problem occurs. It is also easy to cause a missed opportunity for treatment. At present, the relevant data and test value collection after dialysis mainly adopt the method of manual recording, but it is also often caused by the subjective judgment of the person to cause misjudgment or falsehood.

Moreover, chronic diseases have occupied the top ten causes of death, so the medical and social welfare systems for chronic diseases have also been born. Thanks to the rapid development and maturity of today's technology, technology has been introduced into the relevant medical care service industry. Among them, the most active research and development is home telehealth. The remote home care system connects home care providers and patients through communication technologies (such as mobile phones, computers, interactive TVs, etc.), takes the physiological parameters of patients who care at home, transmits data by telephone or network communication, and transmits data. The medical staff at the far end can enable medical staff to record, analyze and monitor the patient's condition according to the data obtained from the transmission, and provide medical intervention at the most appropriate time, giving immediate care or medical services. However, at present, the remote home care system has not been applied to patients with peritoneal dialysis at home.
