A system for monitoring a plurality of patients affected by kidney failure over a time frame covering a plurality of blood treatment sessions, the system comprising:
- a plurality of blood treatment machines to treat the monitored patients, each blood treatment machine including at least one control unit and sensors to measure session parameters, the at least one control unit of each blood treatment machine being configured to:
- receive from the sensors signals corresponding to values (VM) of a plurality of session parameters measured during each blood treatment session for each patient, and
- receive set values (VS) of a plurality of prescription parameters, said set values of the plurality of prescription parameters comprising values of the plurality of session parameters which are set on said blood treatment machines for the blood treatment sessions of each patient over said time frame (T);
- a plurality of laboratory storage units configured to store values (VL) of laboratory parameters relating to patient blood properties obtained from tests conducted on fluid samples taken from each patient;
- a hub module communicatively connected to the blood treatment machines and to the laboratory storage units, the module comprising a control unit configured to:
- receive from said blood treatment machines and from the laboratory storage units values (KPVi) of selected parameters (KPi) comprising:
- values of a first subgroup of said plurality of session parameters (VM),
- set values of a second subgroup of the plurality of prescription parameters (VS), and
- values of a third subgroup of said plurality of laboratory parameters (VL);
- and store said values (KPVi) of the selected parameters (KPi) in a hub module memory;
- a plurality of client units each configured to receive values (KPVi) of the selected parameters (KPi) from the hub module memory and each further configured to:
- store, for each patient, the values (KPVi) of the selected parameters (KPi) received from the hub module memory,
- define, for each of said patients, a number of indicators (IDk) wherein each of said indicator is distinct from the other and is defined based on the values (KPVi,k) taken by a respective subclass (KPi,k) of said selected parameters (KPi),
- compare the values (KPVi,k) taken, over the time frame (T), by the subclasses of selected parameters (KPi,k) affecting a same indicator (IDk) with respective reference criteria, and
- signal whether one or more of said reference criteria are not met.
