Project description
A point-of-care solution for timely diagnosis of infections before clinical symptoms
The frequency of septic shock occurrence as a cause of death imposes the need for a more advanced sepsis diagnosis protocol. As time plays a pivotal role in monitoring and intervention, the early diagnosis of the infection from the pathogens and timely intervention are key elements. The EU-funded SepsISensoR project aims to develop a technological solution to detect in real-time pre-symptomatic signs of sepsis based on transient changes of exhaled breath biomarkers in early sepsis stages. By reducing valuable diagnosis time, time in Intensive Care Units, sepsis fatalities, and cost, the SepsISensoR system appears to be an essential tool against viruses and pandemics.
