VAIL SCIENTIFIC:

Revolutionizing Sepsis Detection

Our VISION

Our vision is a world where any patient can be quickly and accurately screened for sepsis at point-of-care.

With every hour of delay, sepsis patients’ mortality increases by 8%. As many as 80% of sepsis deaths could be avoided with rapid diagnosis and treatment.

Rapid diagnosis and treatment of sepsis is critical. Yet, there is no accurate screening technology or protocol for early detection of sepsis.

Vail Scientific is empowering healthcare providers with cutting-edge solutions for early sepsis detection, enabling enhanced patient outcomes and reduced mortality rates.
