Abstract
Treatment controllers and methods are provided that can be integrated with treatment systems, such as peritoneal dialysis systems, hemodialysis systems, and nocturnal treatment systems, to manage execution of treatment operations or a course of treatment based on timing information and/or patient sleep state.
Claims20
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- controlling, by a treatment controller of a dialysis treatment system, operation of at least one mechanical component coupled to at least one fluid conduit to manage passage of fluid through the at least one conduit for a patient to perform dialysis, at least by:
- obtaining, by a sleep state component of the treatment controller, current sleep state data for the patient;
- and
- limiting, by an execution component of the treatment controller, a loud operation of at least the at least one mechanical component at least by:
- based at least on the current sleep state data for the patient, projecting a future deep sleep state for the patient, and
- initiating a dialysis treatment during a sleep state of the patient that precedes the future deep sleep state, such that the loud operation of the at least one mechanical component during the dialysis treatment is expected to occur at a time during the future deep sleep state.
