Influenza A viruses remain a significant threat to human health, with future global pandemic potential, as noted in this recent Nature Reviews Immunology publication https://shorturl.at/cKlRv Progressing our understanding of susceptibility to influenza and discerning the determinants of symptomatic disease is critical to optimizing antiviral immunity, particularly in high-risk groups. We are making progress in the innovation of new tools to help assess infection type (viral or bacterial) and severity, with the goal of achieving earlier diagnoses and appropriate treatment.    #immunology #InfectiousDiseases #diagnostics

Attention: Updated stats on sepsis! The latest analysis from Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), “Portrait of Sepsis,” reports the dire human toll of #sepsis, one of the deadliest and most expensive conditions treated in U.S. hospitals. Hospitals in the U.S. have seen an increase in in-patient stays of nearly 40 percent over five years -- from 1.8 million in 2016 to 2.5 million in 2021. We need these numbers to go down, not up. Collaboration and targeted initiatives are needed to improve patient outcomes and to reduce financial strain on healthcare institutions. We aim to make a difference! #Sepsis #Healthcare #InfectiousDiseases https://lnkd.in/enpBZsYz

Watch this SelectScience® video interview with our CEO Tim Sweeney to better understand the necessity of addressing two key challenges in diagnosing and accurately treating infections: 1) Identifying pathogens, and 2) having a test that’s sensitive and specific enough to identify a type of infection as well as its severity. You will also learn about Tim’s journey from his post-doc at Stanford University to co-founding Inflammatix, and watch how the company’s Triverity™ Test and Myrna™ instrument work to address the aforementioned challenges.

**Harnessing the Power of Bioinformatics to Decipher Immune Response**   As explained in The New York Times opinion piece by critical care expert Daniela Lamas, MD, inflammation is both a marker and driver of many common disorders, including heart disease and memory loss. Yet the dire consequences of #inflammation are not the whole story; indeed, our immune system can also mount an inflammatory response to protect us against infectious bacterial and viral intruders.     Our technology is derived from the complex interplay between the immune system and both the salutary and harmful effects of inflammation. We deploy advanced #bioinformatics to decode the body’s immune response to different types of diseases, using patient messenger RNA (mRNA) expression patterns to classify key disease markers.   We then use that information to develop diagnostics that detect these disease states early and with high accuracy. Our evidence-based diagnostics are designed to empower healthcare providers to make treatment decisions quickly and confidently.   The future of healthcare lies in deciphering the immune system’s signals—and we are proud to be at the forefront of advancing that understanding. #Immunology #Diagnostics #HealthcareInnovation https://lnkd.in/dN_irKBy Inflammatix products are not for sale and do not have marketing approval or clearance from regulatory authorities in any jurisdiction.   

That’s a wrap! We had a blast at IDWeek engaging with ID physicians while in LA. The data we shared show that the TriVerity™ Test identified patients who would progress to ICU level care within 7 days, despite being initially rated as low-risk by conventional measures. We appreciate our staff who worked hard to educate ID professionals about our medical technology and how it will impact the future of ED patient care. Thank you to our attendees (pictured from left to right) Chad Brueck Natalie N. Whitfield, Ph.D., D(ABMM), FACSc, BCMAS Ashley Prasse Miller Jonathan Romanowsky Sam Ajizian MD. If you weren’t able to attend ACEP or ID Week, but would like a demo, hear more about our latest data, and/or have any questions, DM us to set up a time to chat!

With our team rapidly growing we recently brought everyone together for a staff picnic. The break was much appreciated, and we were fortunate to have beautiful weather. Tawny Darling, our VP of people operations, said, "It was great to see our team come together after working so hard over these past few months to have some fun and get to know one another outside of the office." Thank you, Tawny! Kudos also to organizing committee members Christos Kampouridis, Mikaela Nicole Alganes, and Heidi Chung.

As recently covered in CAP TODAY by senior editor Amy Carpenter Aquino, emergency physicians often lack the diagnostic tools to accurately determine the presence, type, and severity of infections for patients presenting with undifferentiated symptoms, comorbidities, or complex symptoms. The good news is that innovation in host response detection can enable more rapid decision-making in the acute care setting, including detection of #sepsis. Our approach uses #bioinformatics and AI-driven models to enable rapid profiling of patient #hostresponse from blood samples, transforming insights to #pointofcare use for identifying patients’ likelihood of mortality, development of chronic critical illness, and/or secondary infections, and more. We’re proud to be on the forefront of #MedTech in this emerging era of infection care. #diagnostics #bioinformatics #HealthcareInnovation Inflammatix products are not for sale and do not have marketing approval or clearance from regulatory authorities in any jurisdiction. https://lnkd.in/gbr-m_ES
