This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,713.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

A novel peritoneal dialysis system that integrates AI-powered analytics, IoT sensors, blockchain-based data storage, and novel biocompatible materials to provide personalized, efficient, and secure dialysis treatment.

Background and Problem Solved

The original automated peritoneal dialysis system, while adaptable to patient needs, lacks real-time monitoring and optimization capabilities. The new inventive concept addresses this limitation by combining distinct technologies to create a more powerful and efficient system.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The Intelligent Synergistic Peritoneal Dialysis System comprises an automated peritoneal dialysis apparatus, an AI-powered analytics module, IoT sensors, a blockchain-based data storage module, and novel biocompatible materials for the dialysate solution containers. The AI-powered analytics module analyzes the patient's ultrafiltration curve and generates optimized prescriptions, while the IoT sensors monitor the patient's vital signs and provide real-time feedback to the apparatus to adjust the dialysis treatment. The blockchain-based data storage module securely stores the patient's treatment data, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality. The novel biocompatible materials reduce the risk of bacterial contamination and improve the overall efficiency of the dialysis process.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new claims introduce a synergistic combination of AI, IoT, blockchain, and novel biocompatible materials, which is not obvious from the original patent. The integration of these distinct technologies provides a new and non-obvious solution for personalized and efficient peritoneal dialysis.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments may include integrating machine learning-based predictive models to forecast the patient's ultrafiltration curve, or using decentralized blockchain-based platforms to securely store and share patient data. Variations may also include using different types of sensors or analytics modules to optimize the dialysis treatment.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The Intelligent Synergistic Peritoneal Dialysis System has significant commercial potential in the healthcare industry, particularly in the areas of peritoneal dialysis, telemedicine, and personalized medicine. The system's ability to provide efficient, secure, and personalized dialysis treatment makes it an attractive solution for healthcare providers and patients worldwide.
