Specific Diagnostics careers

In US hospitals today, bloodstream infection leading to sepsis is responsible for more than half of all deaths (>52%) and is the most expensive condition treated in hospitals (>$24 B). Sepsis mortality rate increases >6% every hour without effective antibiotic treatment.
Yet, despite the life and death urgency, and healthcare cost impacts, current methodologies require 3 days to determine the correct antibiotic. This gap, between current technology capabilities and the needed urgency for treatment (and healthcare cost management), is also true for other infectious disease diagnostics and is becoming more critical with growing worldwide AMR.
Specific Diagnostics has developed a breakthrough solution to rapidly determine the effective antibiotic. Applied to bloodstream infection Specific’s solution provides results 2 days sooner (1 day vs 3 days). Importantly, Specific’s solution cost and workflow match current lab practices and cost expectations; the system will be easily deployable.
