My wife has been on dialysis many times over the past number of years between
transplants and, although being blind, has never come across a talking dialysis
machine. A thought that comes to mind, although maybe not too helpful, is with
current advances in technology some mobile phones can take good enough pictures
of screens and then can OCR the results either on board the phone or when the
pictures are transferred to PC. The likelihood is that if the screen changes
regularly this may not be all that helpful, but it is not impossible that if
snapshots were taken regularly an update might be able to be heard when the
results are OCRed.

Would it be a good idea to contact the manufacturers of the machines to find
out from them directly if they have any form of voice over?

Hi
Has anyone come across a kidney dialysis machine which will talk the readings
on the display. We've been asked by a nurse who has a patient who can leave
hospital if they would be able to access the display. a long shot i know, but
you never know.
