Artificial Intelligence and Dialysis

Abstract

Contemporary medical science heavily relies on the use of technology. Part of this technology strives to im- prove examination and measurement of the human body, with some of the most impressive technical breakthroughs to be found in the development of non-invasive proce- dures. Another part focuses on the development of de- vices that support therapies for specific pathologies. An example of this is the artificial kidney, which has become the target of intensive research from many directions and generates great expectations for dialysis patients. Re- search on the artificial kidney is still incipient though, and there are many challenges that must be overcome before it will become a reality and part of clinical practice in ne- phrology. One of these non-trivial challenges concerns the safety of users of these new dialysis devices. Safety risks make effective monitoring systems mandatory.
