Abstract
Haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are the two techniques used to maintain patients with end-stage renal failure to life. Both procedures need regular hospital visits, with haemodialysis being the most demanding but producing the best long term results. HOMER-D provides a solution for safely delivering complete haemodialysis treatment to patients at their homes. The system is heavily based on telemedicine and cutting edge IT/IS technologies. It was researched, built and deployed for clinical trials with totally acceptable clinical results. HOMER-D was partially funded by the European Community
