Our take
As a fast-acting and life-threatening infection reaction, time is of the essence when diagnosing sepsis. Founded from academic research dating back to 2007, Cytovale has developed a rapid lab testing programme to quickly diagnose sepsis and other immune-mediated diseases in patients to minimize potentially life-altering and deadly effects.
After 6 years of clinical studies, IntelliSep hit the market in 2022 and generates a patient score that measures the probability of developing or having developed sepsis. Using this score, medical teams can quickly ascertain the next steps for treatment with more confidence, thanks to IntelliSep’s machine learning analytics capabilities.
Impressive Series D funding will go some way to growing the reach of Cytovale’s rapid lab tests. Having launched at a pilot pool of hospitals, IntelliSep has proven to be a valuable tool, with the survival rate of patients who receive the test at an impressive 95%. As the only test of its kind, the market is wide open for expansion. And with proven efficacy, it is likely to become a standard part of care.
