Sepsis kills 1 in 5 people worldwide — but AI + FHIR is fighting back.
Prenosis, an artificial intelligence company, developed Immunix™, the first FDA-authorized AI model for sepsis prediction. Here’s the tech stack & architecture that made it possible:
Core Tech:
- FHIR + Aidbox FHIR server (for EHR integration & real-time data)
- Python (Flask) + R (ML engine, 14-sec predictions!)
- SQL on FHIR (for complex queries & analytics)
- Custom FHIR resources (for non-standard clinical data)
Results:
- 75K+ patients assessed
- 6M+ observations processed
- 50% faster dev time vs. traditional EHR integrations
Key Takeaways for Devs:
- FHIR isn't perfect—EHR APIs are often read-only & inconsistent. They used Aidbox to normalize & extend them.
- Real-time HL7 → FHIR pipelines are crucial for ICU workflows.
- SQL on FHIR → Basic FHIR API calls for ML apps.
- Custom resources in Aidbox let them track lab samples & workflows without messy FHIR extensions.
Discover how Prenosis developed the first FDA-marketing authorized AI diagnostics tool for sepsis by leveraging FHIR, SMART on FHIR, and the Aidbox FHIR server from Health Samurai.
