A method for mitigating the spread of infectious diseases among dialysis patients is provided. The method comprises: receiving, by a prediction system and from a medical facility, individual treatment data indicating dialysis treatment information associated with a patient undergoing dialysis treatment; receiving, by the prediction system and from a blood testing laboratory, individual lab data indicating blood analysis information associated with the patient; determining, by the prediction system, disease analysis results for the patient based on inputting the individual treatment data and the individual lab data into a disease prediction machine learning (ML) model, wherein the disease analysis results indicate a likelihood of the patient being infected with a contagious disease; and providing, by the prediction system and to the medical facility, instructions indicating one or more responsive actions based on the disease analysis results.

System for assessing and mitigating potential spread of infectious disease among dialysis patients

An apparatus used in analyzing spent dialysate includes: at least one surface configured to accommodate a dialysate drain bag or drain line in a predetermined position; a light source positioned to emit light through the dialysate drain bag or drain line; and a light sensor positioned to sense light emitted by the light source through the dialysate drain bag or drain line.
