A dialysis system, comprising: a dialysis machine; a voice recognition component configured to identify a voice command in audio information received by a microphone of the dialysis system; an authentication component configured to determine a source of the voice command; and a processor configured to perform a function determined based on the voice command.

An exemplary computer vision system implemented by a multi-access edge computing ('MEC') server integrated within a provider network accesses an image captured by an image capture device coupled with the MEC server via the provider network. The image depicts a product that is to comply with a predefined product standard. The computer vision system identifies a criterion that is associated with the predefined product standard, and a region of the image that is associated with a product condition that is to be verified for compliance with the criterion. The computer vision system determines whether the product condition complies with the identified criterion for the identified region of the image, and, based on this determination, generates compliance verification data indicative of whether the product complies with the predefined product standard. The computer vision system also provides the compliance verification data to a monitoring system separate from the MEC server.

A medical treatment system comprising a housing; a recess defined by the housing; and a keyboard connected to the housing by a mechanism configured to permit the keyboard to move between: a deployed position in which the keyboard is disposed outside of the recess at an angle of 10&#xb0; to 80&#xb0; relative to a front surface of the housing; and a stored position in which the keyboard is at least partially disposed in the recess and keys of the keyboard are exposed for use by a user.

A dialysis system, comprising: a dialysis machine; an authentication component configured to determine that a source of a voice command received by the dialysis system is an authorized user of the dialysis system; and a processor configured to carry out a function determined based on the voice command.

A medical fluid treatment machine comprising: a pump configured to pump medical fluid to and from a patient; an input device configured to: display touch buttons, at least some of the touch buttons each representing a grapheme, and detect haptic interactions between a user and the touch buttons, wherein an interaction causes information related to the touch button to be received by the medical fluid treatment machine; and a control unit configured to control the input device, wherein controlling the input device includes causing the input device to switch between displaying i) a first set of touch buttons that correspond to a first language, and ii) a second set of touch buttons that correspond to a second language.

Input device for a medical treatment system

A dialysis machine (e.g., a peritoneal dialysis (PD) machine) can include a microphone and a component that provide voice recognition capabilities to the machine. For example, in some implementations, the component is configured to identify and/or authenticate voice commands that are issued by a user. The voice command may cause the dialysis machine to carry out a dialysis function. Alternatively, the voice command may cause a user interface of the dialysis machine (e.g., a display, such as a touchscreen display) to be adjusted. A dialysis machine can also include a speaker for providing spoken information to a user. For example, in some implementations, the speaker can provide spoken instructions to assist the user in machine set-up, calibration, and/or operation. Such spoken instructions can be particularly useful in a home dialysis setting. In some implementations, the speaker can provide spoken alarms that are related to alarm conditions.
