This is a wake up call: Why healthcare should accelerate adoption to predictive analytics for proactive care sooner than planned

In hospitals around the world, ICU hospital beds and ventilators are reserved for patients—regardless of age—who are in critical condition and require mechanical support to keep their bodies functioning and to fight the onset of sepsis. This condition is a complication caused by the human body’s response to infection, and it can lead to organ failure and death, accounting for 1 in 5 deaths globally.

Is the nurse-led approach for early sepsis care scalable, especially during the pandemic?

Streamlining patient workflows through predictive analytics can enable efficient, proactive treatment for patients at risk of sepsis. The real heroes in this pandemic are the frontliners—the medical professionals and staff risking their lives and giving their all to provide care for those who need it. They play the most crucial role of addressing pressing healthcare needs, but they’re also key to early intervention for any disease, not just COVID-19.

Can predictive analytics help COVID-19 deaths from rising with early sepsis intervention?

Analyze, identify, and treat patients at risk of sepsis-associated mortality and morbidity as a result of respiratory failure. Every few years, we are faced with strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria—SARs, Ebola, MERS, H1N1, and most recently COVID-19. Are we prepared to handle this kind of pandemic as COVID-19 will not be the last one to put a strain on the healthcare system.

Predicting fraud: Key predictors to protect financial institutions

With the technology today, electronic financial transactions offer a degree of convenience that simply cannot be provided by physical institutions. It’s a matter of being able to transfer money, make payments, and complete similar transactions—all without having to go to a bank or wait in line. While this brings immediacy to financial transactions, sometimes this convenience comes with a risk. The complicated nature of mobile money has the potential to compromise security.
