Patients at risk of sepsis given wearable tech in bid to prevent 1,000 deaths

Yasmin Sheikh, head of policy and public affairs at Anthony Nolan, said: “We’re pleased to see NHS England embracing new technology that could help reduce deaths from sepsis.

“Patients who receive a CAR T-cell therapy or stem cell transplant are particularly vulnerable to infection, which continues to be a major cause of transplant-related death.

“Technology like this could help more patients recover safely and comfortably at home, and support the NHS to manage the risks of infection for vulnerable patients.”
