Personalized renal failure chronic care systems and methods

A personalized renal failure chronic care apparatus for a patient comprising:

• a server operating over a network;
• software stored on the server, the software including an automated learning method for creating an overall kidney maintenance plan that specifies one or more controllable variables as actions performed by the patient to prevent or reduce complications associated with chronic kidney disease (“CKD”), the automated learning method configured to present a plurality of controllable variables for selection, and wherein a selected controllable variable is scheduled to be modified for the patient over a testing period;
• and
• a compliance entry feature configured to receive compliance information related to the patient,
• wherein the automated learning method is configured to perform an evaluation to determine whether the selected controllable variable is to be included in the overall kidney maintenance plan, the evaluation including:
• receiving, in the server, first evaluation data as a baseline, the first evaluation data related to a chronic kidney disease test of the patient performed during a first time of the testing period,
• receiving, in the server, second evaluation data that is related to the chronic kidney disease test of the patient performed during a subsequent, second time of the testing period,
• determining from the first evaluation data and the second evaluation data whether a kidney function worsens,
• using the compliance information to confirm that the selected controllable variable was modified over the testing period as scheduled,
• adding the selected controllable variable to the overall kidney maintenance plan as an approved controllable variable when (i) a worsening of kidney function is not determined between the first evaluation data and the second evaluation data, and (ii) the compliance information provides a confirmation that the selected controllable variable was modified over the testing period, and
• omitting the selected controllable variable from the overall kidney maintenance plan when a worsening is determined between the first evaluation data and the second evaluation data,
• wherein the server is configured to transmit the overall kidney maintenance plan including at least one approved controllable variable over the network.
