University Hospital first in Alabama to adopt new diagnostic tool for sepsis

MOBILE, Alabama (Nov. 19, 2025) — USA Health University Hospital is the first and only hospital in Alabama to implement a breakthrough blood test that helps emergency clinicians rapidly identify and treat sepsis and other acute infections with unprecedented accuracy.

Sepsis, a life-threatening condition caused by the body’s extreme response to infection, affects more than 1.7 million people in the United States each year. Early detection and treatment are crucial.

The TriVerity Test System, developed by California-based Inflammatix, measures the body’s immune response to infection using a small blood sample. Within about 30 minutes, artificial intelligence algorithms analyze biomarkers to distinguish between bacterial and viral infections and non-infectious inflammation, while also predicting illness severity in patients with suspected infection or sepsis. The rapid test enables physicians to make faster, more confident treatment decisions — improving patient outcomes and reducing unnecessary use of antibiotics and hospital resources…
