Fresenius Medical Care introduces TherapyWise™ analytics for kidney replacement therapy

Published

By

Cloud-based platform provides retrospective, program-level insight into kidney replacement therapy delivered in acute and hospital critical care settingsAvailable within NxStage® System One™ with NxView™ 4.0, Fresenius Medical Care’s FDA 510(k)-cleared software platform for kidney replacement therapy in the United StatesAggregates existing therapy and device data to support identification of trends related to workflow interruptions, alarm burden, and variability

BAD HOMBURG, Germany, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s leading provider of products and services for individuals with renal diseases, today announced the introduction of TherapyWise™, a cloud-based analytics capability available within NxView™ 4.0, the Company’s FDA 510(k)-cleared software platform for use with the NxStage® System One™ in the United States. TherapyWise is designed to provide retrospective, program-level insight into kidney replacement therapy (KRT) delivered in acute and hospital critical care settings.

Kidney replacement therapy in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) generates large volumes of clinical and operational data, yet trends related to therapy delivery, workflow interruptions, and alarm frequency can be difficult to assess without standardized metrics and aggregated views. TherapyWise consolidates existing data generated at the point of care and presents longitudinal summaries intended to support oversight of KRT programs across ICU units and time periods.

“Digital solutions play an increasingly important role in how critical care teams understand and manage complex therapies,” said Joe Turk, Chief Executive Officer of Care Enablement at Fresenius Medical Care. “TherapyWise reflects our continued focus on innovation in critical care by applying data analytics. This helps hospital and clinical leaders gain visibility into how kidney replacement therapy is delivered across their organizations, supporting informed discussions around workflow, consistency, and quality improvement.”

TherapyWise works by securely transmitting data from the NxStage System One with NxView to a cloud‑based platform, where information is aggregated and displayed across predefined performance indicators. These include program‑level metrics including average delivered dose compared with set dose, average treatment time per cartridge, and alarm frequency trends. The software is intended to support retrospective review and program oversight and is not designed for real‑time, patient‑specific clinical decision‑making, which remains the responsibility of attending clinicians.

TherapyWise is part of Fresenius Medical Care’s NxView 4.0 software platform and broader critical care portfolio, which combines digital infrastructure, clinical expertise, and secure data management to support hospital teams responsible for kidney replacement therapy programs.
