Sepsis kills as many as a thousand Americans daily, but there’s no test. National Geographic 33 changemaker Rohit Chandra is overseeing the design and integration of AI tools to detect sepsis faster. Read more about Chandra's work: #NatGeo33#
Spent the last week in the hospital after a joint infection turned into sepsis.
Had no idea you could go from totally fine to incapacitated overnight - please take sudden, severe joint pain seriously!
Apologies for canceled meetings / missed messages. Getting back on my feet 🫡
The future will be built by American workers supercharged by AI.
Without any background in software engineering, Palantir American Tech Fellow Brittany Molenaar from Grand Rapids, Michigan, built the tool she knew her clinic needed, an anti-sepsis platform that reduced time to first dose.
“I started this project because I cared about a problem, not because I knew a solution. AI helped me bridge that gap. The future will be solved by the people who understand the challenges best, and now we have the tools to solve it ourselves.”
