A Florida hospital says an artificial intelligence (AI) tool has saved nearly 900 lives in four years by spotting sepsis before doctors and nurses could, raising an uncomfortable question for every patient in the US. If the technology works this well, why isn't it everywhere?
Tampa General Hospital reports that its 'Sepsis Hub', built with the data analytics firm Palantir Technologies, has halved sepsis-related deaths since its 2021 launch. The system monitors patients around the clock, pulling real-time data from electronic health records to flag early warning signs that human staff can miss during a busy shift.
