Advantages 

Early detection and treatment of sepsis is the key to help prevent damages and deaths caused from it. The system is able ot provide warning signs of sepsis with a median time of 5 hours before it occurs. Because of this, Duke has estimated that it can save around 8 lives per hospital per month (although this is a very rough estimate due to the small sample size). To avoid any wrong predictions, the watch is developed to flag warning signs within a 12 hour window before sepsis is predicted to occur.
