Sepsis Diagnostics: Why Every Second Counts
Sepsis is often called a "silent threat," but the tools we use to find it are becoming louder and faster than ever. Simply put, sepsis is the body’s extreme, life-threatening response to an infection. When it happens, your immune system goes into overdrive, which can lead to tissue damage and organ failure. Because it moves so quickly, the way we diagnose it is the most critical part of the puzzle.
How Sepsis is Spotted
In the past, diagnosing sepsis was a bit like detective work—doctors had to wait days for blood cultures to grow in a lab to see what kind of "bug" was causing the trouble. Today, diagnostics focus on biomarkers. These are specific "red flags" in your blood that tell doctors almost immediately if your body is struggling with an overwhelming infection, allowing them to start treatment hours or even days sooner.
Hi Sanjay, quite the interesting read! I'm sure more public companies will start to use AI this way. It reminds me of how the internet was used more pragmatically after the hype died down circa '99.
