ATHENS, 9-May-2023 — / EuropaWire / — AMBROSIA ( http://ambrosia-h2022.eu/ ) is a new ambitious HORIZON Research and Innovation Action project that was granted under the call of “Digital and emerging technologies for competitiveness and fit for the green deal” and the topic “HORIZON-CL4-2022-DIGITAL-EMER-GING-01-03: Advanced multi-sensing systems”. AMBROSIA envisions to develop a portable diagnostic unit for intelligent sepsis diagnosis at the point-of-care (PoC).
Sepsis is a life-threatening whole-body inflammatory reaction caused by a severe infection. With mortality rates around 35%, sepsis is responsible for 11 million deaths worldwide every year. In economic terms, sepsis represents a primary cost of hospitalization in developed regions, expending up to €9 billion/year only in Germany. The window of opportunity for sepsis management is in hours: the chance of survival drops by 7.6% each hour of disease progression until an appropriate treatment is started. Howev
This is exactly where AMBROSIA steps in to transform integrated plasmo-photonic RI sensors into a disruptive solution for sepsis diagnosis at the point of care that will offer multiplexed (within a single test) quantification of multiple protein biomarkers and bacteria within a few minutes, providing also real-time disease stage classification and enabling a rapid and precise decision making for medical actuation. Specifically, AMBROSIA objectives include:
