We see a future where interpreting the patient’s immune response can diagnose infection and sepsis in patients that arrive with challenging presentations.
Some patients without an infection receive inappropriate treatment, leading to exposure to unnecessary risks or a delay in the care they need for their true ailment. Others with infection don’t get the antimicrobials they require.1,2
Some patients get antibiotics when they don’t need them and others have them withheld when they should receive them.1
Some patients who don’t look that sick end up decompensating quickly and are at higher risk for a more morbid outcome.2
Some patients are admitted unnecessarily (utilizing resources inefficiently and exposing patients to risks as inpatients) while others are sent home only to have their condition worsen.3
Some patients receive unnecessary care1
Some patients don’t get the timely care they need2
Patient symptoms can result from bacterial or viral infections or even non-infectious mimics. Determining the source and likely severity as early as possible can lead to more appropriate care that improves patient outcomes.

By evaluating a patient’s immune system through their response to infection, providers are empowered to better understand the cause, the degree of severity, and the most appropriate course of treatment.
