With the help of a tablet device running an Android system on patients and the care team and the smart devices attached to it (scales, blood pressure monitor), patients perform measurements in their homes in connection with solution changes. The resulting data is transmitted through the telemedicine system to the care team, which can take immediate intervention if necessary and notify the patient of any change in therapy.
