Abstract
A system and method for automatic detection of symptoms of peritonitis during peritoneal dialysis, such as using a mobile device with an image capturing system.
Claims20
A system for automatic detection of symptoms of peritonitis during peritoneal dialysis, comprising:
- an image capturing device in communication with a processor;
- an effluent bag for receiving effluent fluid during peritoneal dialysis, the bag having a clear window for visual inspection of the effluent fluid;
- and
- a visual signal disposed on a surface of the effluent bag for being inspected by the image capturing device through the effluent fluid, the visual signal being a computer-readable signal when no distortions are present and wherein the quality of the visual signal through the effluent fluid on a captured image of the image capturing device determines the presence of an infection.
A computer-based method for automatic detection of symptoms of peritonitis during peritoneal dialysis using an image capturing device in communication with a processor of the computer, the method comprising:
- capturing an image via the image capturing device of a visual signal disposed on an internal surface of an effluent bag, the effluent bag for receiving effluent fluid during peritoneal dialysis and having a clear window for visual inspection of the effluent fluid, the visual signal being a computer-readable signal when no distortions are present and being visible through the effluent fluid via the clear window;
- and
- determining a quality of the visual signal through the effluent fluid of the captured image via the processor, wherein the quality of the visual signal on the captured image indicates the presence of an infection.
A computer-based method for automatic detection of symptoms of peritonitis during peritoneal dialysis using an image capturing device in communication with a processor of the computer, the method comprising:
- capturing an image via the image capturing device of a visual signal disposed on an internal surface of an effluent bag, the effluent bag for receiving effluent fluid during peritoneal dialysis and having a clear window for visual inspection of the effluent fluid, the visual signal being a computer-readable signal when no distortions are present and being visible through the effluent fluid via the clear window;
- correcting image noise of the captured image;
- and
- attempting to generate, via the processor, an analog signal from the visual signal of the captured image, wherein the attempt to generate the analog signal from the visual signal on the captured image indicates the presence of an infection.
