A method for determining a next hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor (HIF-PHI) dosage for a first patient using a patient HIF-PHI model is provided. The method includes obtaining population patient data indicating HIF-PHI dosages and hemoglobin measurements for the patients. Then, virtual patient avatars are generated based on the population patient data. Each of the virtual patient avatars indicates a set of personalized model parameters for a HIF-PHI model. A plurality of HIF-PHI models are determined for the virtual patient avatars. Using the HIF-PHI models, one or more HIF-PHI treatment schemes for administering the HIF-PHI dosages is determined. Subsequently, the HIF-PHI treatment schemes along with a hematocrit and/or hemoglobin concentration for a patient are used to determine a next HIF-PHI dosage for the patient, and the next HIF-PHI dosage is administered for the patient.

A medical treatment machine, such as a home dialysis machine, can receive prescription parameters that define parameters of a medical treatment to be administered to a patient. A medical prescription is entered by a clinician into a clinical information system (CIS) that calls a system to evaluate the compatibility of the entered prescription by transmitting the prescription parameters to a server that has access to a database of medical devices and their operational parameters. The server compares the treatment parameters of the medical prescription to the operational parameters of the medical device and generates a prescription compatibility response indicting if the treatment parameters of the medical prescription can be executed by the medical device. The server returns to the CIS the prescription compatibility response to allow the prescription, e.g. in a digital or program form, to be securely transmitted or delivered via a connected health system to the medical device.
