How Hospitals Are Using AI to Detect and Treat Sepsis

Responsible for more than 270,000 annual deaths in the U.S., sepsis claims a life in this country every two minutes. The condition, which arises from the body's inflammatory response to infection, costs over $27 billion in hospitalizations each year. Despite advancements in understanding and managing sepsis, the fight is far from over. This is why an evolved strategy using predictive technology is critical. By leveraging patient data, artificial intelligence is helping healthcare organizations identify patients in the early stages of sepsis.
