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.

At HSBC, she leads businesses serving affluent and globally connected clients in the United States, bringing a client-first approach to one of the world’s largest financial services organizations.

“Racquel brings a rare combination of commercial discipline and genuine investment in people,” said Michael C. Hyter, President and CEO of The Executive Leadership Council. “She understands that leadership is measured in business results, certainly, but also in the people you prepare for greater responsibility and the doors you make easier for others to open. Her career reflects the kind of enterprise leadership The ELC has championed for 40 years.”

Oden’s career spans some of the world’s most prominent financial institutions. Prior to HSBC, she served as a Managing Director at JPMorgan Chase, where she led Network Expansion and held leadership roles across national sales, Consumer Banking and Wealth Management. She previously spent eight years at Merrill Lynch in several Managing Director roles and more than a decade at UBS in senior leadership positions. She began her Wall Street career in equity trading at Morgan Stanley.

Throughout that journey, Oden has described her leadership philosophy as one rooted in service and in helping people become the strongest versions of themselves. That philosophy also informs her work to expand access to wealth, opportunity, and financial fluency.

Her leadership extends across corporate and civic institutions. Oden serves on the corporate board of National Life Group and chairs the Board of Directors of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. She also serves on the boards of the Apollo Theater and the New York City Police Foundation.

Her honors include the National Urban League’s 2026 Women of Power award and recognition among Barron’s Most Influential Women in Finance, American Banker’s Most Powerful Women in Finance and Forbes’ 50 Over 50.

Oden holds a Bachelor of Arts from James Madison University and an MBA from Hampton University.

The ELC Achievement Award recognizes corporate executives whose careers reflect exceptional professional accomplishment, leadership and impact. Oden joins a distinguished group of past ELC honorees whose influence has reached across companies, industries and communities.
