♨️♨️♨️ NEW STUDY! The double-blinded diagnostic accuracy study, "Apollo," showcased the effectiveness of the rapid host-response test, MeMed BV, in differentiating bacterial from viral infections in both children and adults. Take home messages: 🎯 First study including US patients from various acute care settings. MeMed BV achieved sensitivity of 90%, specificity of 93%, and an NPV of 99%. ⏲️ First study validating performance on the MeMed Key, the rapid immunoassay platform measuring BV test within 15 min. 📈  Actionable MeMed BV results were obtained in 73% of cases that a panel of experts classified as indeterminate infection etiology. 💊 MeMed BV could potentially have reduced unwarranted antibiotic prescription by a 2.2-fold. Big thanks to the lead authors Richard G Bachur, Boston Children's Hospital, Richard E. Rothman, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Sheldon Kaplan, Texas Children's Hospital, and all the many contributors involved in this study for their relentless dedication and resilience.

📢 We're thrilled to announce the expansion of our partnership with Beckman Coulter Diagnostics as authorized distributors of our MeMed BV® assay and MeMed Key®. This progress is a continuation of our original joint development collaboration, extending the use of the MeMed BV-based assay for Beckman Coulter Access Immunoassay Analyzers. Kevin O'Reilly, President of Beckman Coulter, stated: "Beckman Coulter is committed to advancing diagnostics that provide insights into an individual's immune response. We're excited to extend our partnership with MeMed, expanding the impact of the MeMed Key and MeMed BV assay." Eran Eden, MeMed's CEO and co-founder, added: "We're thrilled to expand our partnership with Beckman Coulter. This expansion aims to accelerate the adoption of MeMed BV and broaden patient access through a strategic hub and spoke model." By leveraging the capabilities of Beckman Coulter's analyzers, we're creating an ecosystem that will aid clinicians in distinguishing between bacterial and viral infections with unprecedented ease and precision. This partnership will enable us to impact more patient lives with our BV technology, improving patient care and outcomes. We look forward to the positive impact this expanded partnership will have on healthcare providers and patients alike. 🚀 #MeMed #BeckmanCoulter #Partnership #Innovation #Diagnostics #Healthcare Read the full press release 👇 https://lnkd.in/dnwDm5Gi

🚨 This #PediatricSepsisWeek, we’re raising awareness about sepsis in children—a critical condition that can escalate quickly yet is often treatable when recognized early. Each year, thousands of children are impacted by sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection that can lead to tissue damage and organ failure. Knowing the signs can #savelives.
