Problem: Rules-based tools are not enough
Transcript of Problem: Rules-based tools are not enough
INSIGHT by DASCENA
AI-powered sepsis prediction can help you save lives. InSight is a clinical decision support software tool that leverages readily-available data in the EHR to help clinicians identify sepsis earlier. Built with advanced machine learning capabilities, InSight can identify patterns to predict the risk of sepsis onset more accurately than rules-based tools. Our technology and alerts seamlessly integrate into existing clinical workflows, improving outcomes with little additional effort from the care team.
InSight®– Early Sepsis Prediction
“We are seeing a positive impact
for our patients through improved rates of survival.”
Hoyt J. Burdick, MD Chief Medical Officer
Cabell Huntington Hospital
HARD-TO-CATCH CASES
Of all septic shock patients,
40%leading to:1
• 2x greater mortality• 2x less likely to receive
a compliant bundle
TIME-CRITICAL CONDITION
Each hour delay in treatment yields
8%leading to:2
• poor quality metrics• high emotional burden
on clinical staff
Existing tools like SIRS and SOFA can’t address these issues.
Problem: Rules-based tools are not enough
present with vague symptoms,
increase in patient mortality,
Solution: ML algorithms can help you improve outcomes
Data is autonomously fed into Dascena's HIPAA compliant cloud
Data IngestionAlgorithm-enabled care leads to improved patient outcomes, including reduced rate of mortality and length of stay
Improved careCare team performs independent assessment and delivers intervention
InterventionAlgorithm analyzes each patient over time for signs of sepsis
Data AnalysisInSight alerts care team with potential sepsis cases
Notification
Seamless Workflow Integration
Our tool continuously analyzes patient vitals over time to quickly identify those at risk of sepsis

The statements contained in this document are supported by clinical trials and corresponding datasets. InSight undergoes periodic updates and performance improvements, and results may vary based on these algorithm improvements, as well as an institution’s unique data collection practices and standards for sepsis care. InSight is a clinical decision support tool intended to help identify patients that may be in need of further investigation. InSight is not intended to prevent, diagnose, or treat any medical condition. InSight should not be used as a substitute for the independent clinical judgment of a healthcare professional.
More Cases Caught, Fewer False Alarms
InSight has demonstrated higher sensitivity and specificity than traditional rules-based tools. In fact, an InSight alert is 2-4x more likely to be a real sepsis case, as measured by positive predictive value.*
*Figures calculated using an in-hospital incidence of 5.9%.5
Clinical Validation
InSight is one of the only prospectively validated ML-based clinical decision support tools, backed by a randomized clinical trial and a post-marketing study.
