Conductive materials and devices, apparatuses, systems and methods that employ same. The conductive material can include a conductive polymer material that can be utilized to monitor one or a combination of conditions during patient therapy, such as patient access, solution compounding and the like. This can facilitate the safe and effective administration of patient theraply, such as dialysis therapy. La présente invention concerne des matériaux conducteurs, ainsi que des dispositifs, des appareils, des systèmes et des procédés faisant appel à ces matériaux. Ces derniers peuvent intégrer un polymère conducteur convenant au suivi d'un état ou d'un ensemble d'états d'un patient en traitement, notamment pour les accès, la composition des solutions, et la dialyse.
