1. A system comprising:
a network device comprising a server,
a dialysis machine configured to connect to the network device; and
a remote device comprising a display, the remote device configured to connect to the network device,
wherein the network device is configured to:
receive, from the dialysis machine, through a network, data related to an operation of the dialysis machine,
generate a virtual control for the dialysis machine based on the received data, the virtual control comprising computer program instructions that when executed, form a user interface representing the operation of the dialysis machine, and
transmit the virtual control to the remote device,
wherein the remote device is configured to run the virtual control to generate the user interface presenting the operation of the dialysis machine, the user interface comprising one or more of (i) a representation for monitoring the operation of the dialysis machine, or (ii) selectable control features for providing an instruction to control the dialysis machine.
