They are developing the first artificial intelligence-based sepsis alert system.

Bacteremia, also known as sepsis, is the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream. A acute condition usually found in approximately 30% of patients with urinary tract infection (UTI), which can also rapidly progress to septic shock in the absence of immediate medical intervention, which can increase the mortality rate to more than 40%.

According to experts, this situation increases mortality from 7 to 9% for every hour delay in starting antibiotic therapy. Therefore, from the Chinese Medical Hospital (KMUH) developed Intelligent system for early prediction of sepsis (ISEPS), powered by artificial intelligence, offers an immediate prediction of the risk of bacteremia, giving doctors the ability to accurately help initiate treatment.

ISEPS can identify sepsis risk in just one minute, allowing healthcare providers to quickly identify high-risk patients.

According to the developers, ISEPS is capable of identifying the risks of sepsis in the early stages. just a minute, allowing healthcare providers to quickly identify high-risk patients. A process that makes it easier administration of antibioticswhich significantly improves patient treatment outcomes and prevents the progression of sepsis.

On the other hand, the blood culture report is usually unavailable from 18:00 to 72:00 after taking a sample, which makes it impossible for doctors to respond quickly. Moreover, compared to conventional blood cultures, this system does not require blood sampling absence of the use of additional equipment, which reduces the burden on medical personnel and ensures timely and effective provision of medical care.
