Sepsis is a serious medical condition that occurs when the body releases the full force of the immune system in response to an infection. The immune chemicals trigger widespread inflammation that can result in impaired blood flow and thus leading to failure of the body's organs. This disease is consuming major cost for the healthcare industry. Here Data Analytics has stepped in and provided a solution. The solution consists of a disposable wireless Band-Aid-like biosensor (the FDA-certified HealthPatch), which helps in real-time processing of patient data, and consumable analysis that allows medical professionals to take immediate action.
 The smartphone app transmits the patient clinical data to a cloud-based repository, where it is integrated with existing patient data from other data sources (NoSQL and SQL-based data sources, premium data sources, etc.). For more information visit:
