Groundbreaking NEJM AI Study Highlights the Ability of Prenosis’ Sepsis ImmunoScore™ to Holistically Predict Adverse Outcomes, Ushering in a New Era of Predictive Sepsis Tools Powered by AI

CHICAGO, Dec. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine AI (NEJM AI) concluded the Sepsis ImmunoScore™, the first FDA-authorized AI diagnostic for sepsis, has high accuracy for the diagnosis of sepsis and for prediction of key adverse patient outcomes, concretely demonstrating the benefit of AI to inform sepsis care. Sepsis, an overactive immune response to infection, costs the U.S. healthcare system billions of dollars annually and claims the lives of at least 350,000 people each year—more than all cancers combined.

The peer-reviewed study—FDA-Authorized AI/ML Tool for Sepsis Prediction: Development and Validation—found the Sepsis ImmunoScore™ has high accuracy for sepsis diagnosis and simultaneously predicted critical outcomes, including mortality during hospitalization, length of stay before discharge, ICU admission, need for mechanical ventilation, and use of vasopressors. This represents the first time an FDA-authorized tool for sepsis can predict all of these critical outcomes simultaneously.

This milestone publication underscores the potential of Prenosis Inc.’s Sepsis ImmunoScore™ to transform sepsis management by presenting providers with trustworthy predictive information, allowing them to shift from a reactive to a proactive approach to care.

While single biomarkers, such as Procalcitonin (PCT), have been valuable tools in diagnosing sepsis for over two decades, they have limitations when trying to predict the future. The study demonstrated the combination of multidimensional inputs—vital signs, lab data, and sepsis-specific biomarkers—into a comprehensive AI-driven tool provides more reliable diagnostic information and is predictive of future patient outcomes.

“The Sepsis ImmunoScore™ is the first FDA-authorized sepsis AI algorithm that functions by embedding in the EMR and is approved to aid providers in the identification and assessment of patients with sepsis,” said Nathan I. Shapiro, MD, MPH, a Professor of Emergency Medicine at Harvard Medical School and attending physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and the paper’s corresponding author1.

“For too long, clinicians have struggled with the early and accurate prediction of adverse outcomes due to sepsis, a complex, rapidly progressing condition,” said Bobby Reddy, Jr., Prenosis Co-Founder and CEO. “By delivering FDA validated AI results with transparency and explainability for clinicians, tools like the Sepsis ImmunoScore™ offer critical insights to improve patient outcomes.”

“Hospitals and clinicians now have access to the first-ever FDA-authorized, peer-reviewed AI solution that provides unmatched insights into sepsis risk and prediction of the negative outcomes associated with sepsis,” said Akhil Bhargava, the study’s lead author. “This study confirmed that AI, when validated, can be a reliable, comprehensive tool to assist providers with identification of patients at high risk of sepsis and prediction of sepsis-related adverse outcomes,” added Bhargava, Prenosis’ Senior Data Scientist — Applied Machine Learning.

About the Sepsis ImmunoScore™

FDA-authorized via the De Novo pathway in April 2024, the Sepsis ImmunoScore™ outputs a combination of both diagnostic and predictive information previously unavailable in a legally marketed device for sepsis. Unlike early warning systems that alert clinicians to potential sepsis with high amounts of false positives, leading to alert fatigue, the Sepsis ImmunoScore™ delivers actionable and trustworthy insights. The Sepsis ImmunoScore™ works in concert with a clinician’s suspicion of serious infection, providing information exactly when needed for decision-making.

The Sepsis ImmunoScore™ was built using Prenosis’ Immunix™ platform, which enables precision medicine in acute care. Immunix™ facilitates the development and validation of new precision solutions, such as AI biomarkers, and their real-time implementation. Over a decade of collaboration with more than ten U.S. partner hospitals, Prenosis used Immunix™ to build a proprietary biobank and dataset of over 113,000 blood samples from more than 28,000 patients. Prenosis merges biological data extracted from these samples with clinical information from Electronic Medical Records, creating the world’s largest biological-clinical dataset for acute care patients with suspected serious infections. This dataset enables the development of AI algorithms to detect rapid immune responses and recommend personalized therapies in real time in hospitals and emergency departments.

BlueFolder Field Service Software Launches New AI-Powered Features to Transform How Teams Work

New AI capabilities instantly surface customer insights and transform technician notes into actionable summaries to help field service teams work faster, stay aligned, and deliver better service

AUBURN, Ala., July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BlueFolder field service software recently announced the launch of two powerful new AI features: AI-Powered Customer Summaries and AI-Powered Field Notes Summarization. Together, these capabilities are designed to eliminate the time-consuming, manual work of reviewing fragmented customer records and lengthy technician notes—giving field service teams instant clarity to respond faster, make smarter decisions, and deliver exceptional service.

BlueFolder expands it’s field service and work order management suite with two exciting new AI field service features.

Built directly into the BlueFolder platform, both features leverage artificial intelligence to automatically compile and summarize complex, unstructured data into clear, easy-to-read overviews. The result: technicians, dispatchers, and managers always have the context they need, right when they need it.

AI-Powered Customer Summaries

As field service organizations grow, customer information becomes increasingly scattered across emails, service request logs, and communication histories. BlueFolder’s AI Customer Summary feature addresses this challenge head-on by consolidating those interactions into a single, actionable snapshot.

Instead of manually digging through multiple records before a service call or customer interaction, teams can now access a real-time summary highlighting key concerns, past service activity, and recent updates. The feature goes beyond basic summarization and surfaces critical business insights such as equipment past due for maintenance, approaching warranty expirations, and proactive revenue opportunities, empowering teams to recommend follow-ups or upgrades directly from the customer record.

Built-in traceability links each summary back to its original source communications, so users can validate insights with confidence, ensuring both speed and accuracy in every customer interaction.

AI-Powered Field Notes Summarization

In many service organizations, technicians log updates across multiple visits, often resulting in long, fragmented notes that are difficult to review at a glance. BlueFolder’s AI Field Notes Summarization feature solves this by automatically condensing multiple technician entries into a structured summary that highlights key milestones, actions taken, and next steps.

Rather than scrolling through pages of updates, managers and dispatchers can immediately understand job status and determine what needs to happen next, improving alignment between field and office teams, accelerating decision-making, and reducing miscommunication. The feature is especially valuable for complex or multi-day jobs, where clear continuity and smooth technician handoffs are critical to delivering consistent service. It’s another featuring making BlueFolder’s work order management software capabilities stronger every day.

“History is one of the most powerful tools a service team has — the problem is it’s usually buried. BlueFolder’s new AI features fix that. Your team walks into every interaction already knowing the customer, knowing the equipment, and exactly where things stand. That changes the entire experience,” says John Shaw, VP, Technology, Service Operations.

AI as a Core Part of the BlueFolder Platform

The launch of these two features reflects BlueFolder’s broader commitment to embedding AI throughout its field service management software as an integrated layer of intelligence that makes every workflow smarter. Rather than requiring teams to change how they work, BlueFolder’s AI capabilities are designed to surface the right information at the right moment automatically, within the tools that technicians, dispatchers, and managers already use every day.

“AI is transforming what’s possible in field service, and BlueFolder is answering that call. These features are the result of deep platform expertise and a clear vision for where the industry is headed. We’re embedding intelligence throughout the platform because we know it makes our customers more competitive, more efficient, and better positioned to grow,” says Stephen Myslicki, Group President of Field Services.

Availability

Both AI-Powered Customer Summaries and AI-Powered Field Notes Summarization are available now to BlueFolder customers as optional, easy-to-enable features within the platform. They are part of BlueFolder’s growing suite of AI-driven capabilities designed to help field service organizations operate more efficiently and scale with confidence.
