Sepsis Detection, Post-Dramatic Growth, and Founding PatchD with Founder and CEO Robert Quinn

Sinopse

Surviving Sepsis, liver transplant, and multiple hospitalizations led Robert to the moment where he had a choice. Would he rise or would he fall? He chose to rise and to create PatchD to help patients with Sepsis lead a normal life and to, hopefully, save lives. This is what Mayo Clinic says about Sepsis: "Sepsis occurs when chemicals released into the bloodstream to fight the infection trigger inflammatory responses throughout the body. This inflammation can trigger a cascade of changes that can damage multiple organ systems, causing them to fail. If sepsis progresses to septic shock, blood pressure drops dramatically, which may lead to death."  PatchD is about giving patients and doctors a great tool to increase the quality of life for patients and improve the detection of sepsis.
