    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för vårdvetenskap

    Author : Miaoting Tong; Yujie Wang; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background : Hemodialysis improved quality of life and reduced morbidity andmortality in patients with end-stage renal disease. At the same time, contemporarysociety was increasingly concerned about the life experience and needs of patientsduring the treatment phase. READ MORE

  3. 2. Supporting CKD Patients on Home Hemodialysis with Digital Information and Communication

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Matilda Byström; Sandra Rödlund; [2022]
    Keywords : Hemodialysis; home hemodialysis; app development; SwiftUI; mobile application; remote patient monitoring; Hemodialys; hemhemodialys; apputveckling; SwiftUI; mobil applikation; fjärrövervakning;

    Abstract : The lack of digital and easily accessible information for home hemodialysis patients leads to a disinclination of using the provided manuals. This problem could potentially be solved with a user-friendly app, where all information and communication with the healthcare providers could take place. READ MORE

  4. 3. A Technical Evaluation of Capacitive Level Sensors for use in Hemodialysis Machines on Chambers Filled with Dielectric Liquids

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Viktor Stevander; Viktor Petersson; [2016]
    Keywords : comb-finger; parallel fingers; capacitive sensor; Electrical engineering; Electric measurement; hemodialysis; dialysis machine; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A series of tests were performed to explore the limits of two capacitive level sensors using the principle of parallel finger layout (sometimes called comb fingers) for sensing. The goal was to present a decision basis for Baxter to use when choosing a sensor to implement in their next generation hemodialysis machine. READ MORE

  5. 4. Model-Based Conductivity Control of Fluid Composition

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Måns Fällman; [2016]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to reduce the start-up and restart time of a hemodialysis machine by targeting time consuming control loops. This was done by investigating different techniques of modelling to find the best combination of versatility and conformity to the process. READ MORE

  6. 5. On-line Verification of Hemodialysis Water Quality

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Johan Andersson; Elin Holmström; [2016]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Renal diseases are an increasing problem worldwide and when kidney transplantation is not possible, dialysis treatment is the solution. An increasing number of patients choose to perform their dialysis treatment at home by implementing the dialysis machine and a water purification system in current electric and water supply, so called home hemodialysis.
