Summary
Sepsis is a leading cause of death in infants, particularly in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). Early detection is crucial for improving recovery chances. Using a high resolution and vast data set from a NICU in India, our project aims to develop an automated system to monitor physiological changes in real-time, providing early warnings of potential sepsis before clinical signs appear. Preliminary results show sepsis could be detected up to 72 hours earlier. This project seeks to refine and validate the system, potentially revolutionizing sepsis care in NICUs globally,saving lives and enhancing infant health outcomes.
