The Ounce of Prevention: Detecting and Preventing Sepsis
We developed an algorithm that helps clinicians all over the country detect and prevent deadly sepsis infections.
You don’t have to be sporting scrubs to save lives here. Just ask anyone on our data team. Analyzing data from more than 30 million patient encounters, in 2018 we developed SPOT (Sepsis Prediction and Optimization of Therapy), our algorithm driven technology that helps clinicians all over the country detect and prevent deadly sepsis infections before they ever have a chance to become deadly.
See how SPOT technology is saving lives.
