Nx2me Connected Health is designed to help you
Monitor and support patient adherence and potentially reduce complications
Reduce patient burden and enhance patient confidence
Increase patient retention through compliance monitoring and enhanced connection with patients
Reduce effort involved in collecting flowsheets
Quality of Care: Key Potential Benefits
Adherence
Clinicians may monitor and support treatment adherence.
Early intervention
Clinicians may identify health problems before unscheduled care is needed (eg, blood pressures, arterial or venous pressures running too high).
Alerts
Alerts patients and nurses when key clinical parameters deviate from pre-established norm to help support patient case management.
Data captured from patients and available to clinicians
Data collected by the Nx2me app includes:
Treatment information directly from the Cycler*
Patient weight, blood pressure, and temperature
Medications taken
Notes and health assessments
Nx2me also offers:
Picture attachments to flowsheets
Bi-directional messaging
Alarm troubleshooting
Nx2me works over a secure Wi-Fi network established at the patient’s home. If a patient doesn’t have Internet service, a cell data plan is available. All patient information is encrypted and transmitted using secure Internet protocols.
*The Nx2me app does not control the Cycler.
Nx2me® has shown to improve patient retention by monitoring compliance, early intervention and education.1
Patients should review the following information carefully and discuss it with their doctors to decide whether home hemodialysis with NxStage systems is right for them.
Users should weigh the risks and benefits of performing home hemodialysis with NxStage systems.
Medical staff will not be present to respond to health emergencies that might happen during home treatments.
Users and their care partners will be responsible for all aspects of their hemodialysis treatments from start to finish.
Users may not experience the reported benefits of home, more frequent or nocturnal hemodialysis with the NxStage systems.
The NxStage systems require a prescription for use.
Certain forms of home hemodialysis have additional risks.
If a doctor prescribes more frequent home hemodialysis, vascular access is exposed to more frequent use which may lead to access related complications, including infection of the site. Doctors should evaluate the medical necessity of more frequent treatments and discuss the risks and benefits of more frequent therapy with users.
If a doctor prescribes “solo/independent” home hemodialysis without a care partner during waking hours, risks of significant injury or death increase because no one is present to help users respond to health emergencies. If users experience needles coming out, blood loss, or very low blood pressure during solo home hemodialysis, they may lose consciousness or become physically unable to correct the health emergency. Users will need additional ancillary devices and training to perform solo home hemodialysis.
If a doctor prescribes “nocturnal” home hemodialysis at night while the user and a care partner are sleeping, risks increase due to the length of treatment time and because therapy is performed while users and their care partners are sleeping. These risks include, among other things, blood access disconnects and blood loss during sleep, blood clotting due to slower blood flow or increased treatment time or both, and delayed response to alarms when waking from sleep.
