For Immediate Release:
July 13, 2023 (Cabot, Arkansas) – Cabot Emergency Hospital, a physician-managed hospital designed to provide community access to prompt, compassionate emergency care, announces that they have partnered with the trailblazing MeMed BV® test that distinguishes viral from bacterial infection within 15 minutes.
MeMed BV® is a diagnostic test developed to address the management of patients with acute infection in different clinical settings, including the emergency department. The MeMed BV® test uses machine learning to integrate measurements of three key host-immune proteins into a score indicating the likelihood of bacterial or viral infections. The ability to distinguish between bacterial and viral infections early in the diagnostic process has significant potential to impact patient care and combat antimicrobial resistance.
“With this cutting-edge laboratory test, we are able to tailor care in a more efficient and goal directed manner to assist our patients back on the road to recovery and health,” said Dr. Justin White, Medical Director at Cabot Emergency Hospital.
Dr. Eran Eden, CEO and Co-founder of MeMed, said, “We are delighted to collaborate with Cabot Emergency Hospital and for the opportunity to apply our innovative MeMed BV technology to aid in prudent use of antibiotics and improving patient outcomes.”
