→  1. Diagnostics – Two perspectives: the (mis)diagnosis of sepsis

Explore the challenges of diagnosing sepsis through the eyes of both a clinician and a patient, who shares her experience with sepsis. This session will dive into the need for better health technology aimed at preventing diagnostic errors, followed by a Q&A where participants can ask the patient and speakers questions about this topic. This is a valuable session to remind us what the impact of sepsis can be and why sepsis research is so important.
