Prenosis Inc. is a bioinformatics company that combines machine learning algorithms with clinical and deep biological data to create optimal treatment pathways for patients diagnosed with acute conditions, starting with sepsis. Its B2B flagship product Sepsis ImmuniScore is a software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) and diagnostic solution for identifying early signs of developing sepsis. The SaMD runs on the company’s Immunix software platform, screening patients for sepsis admitted in the emergency department or a hospital using data from electronic medical records. If the patient’s parameters point to a possible deteriorating condition, the software orders a Sepsis ImmunoScore risk score. It is also developing solutions for other conditions such as acute kidney injury, heart failure, and stroke.
Key customers and partnerships
The firm’s technology combines both diagnostics and clinical decision support together with a patient’s hospital electronic health records to understand disease patterns and reduce the time taken to treat patients, unlike its competitors that rely on one approach only. Prenosis’ partnerships include the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, part of the US Department of Defense, which granted the firm USD 4.3 million to develop a point-of-care system for the early detection of sepsis on the field.
The company also collaborated with Foxconn to mass-produce devices used in the system. Roche Diagnostics and Prenosis are working together to obtain FDA approval for its Sepsis Immunoscor and the Roche Elecsys IL-6 assay to test for predictive biomarkers. The Sepsis Immunoscor diagnostic uses a combination of Elecsys IL-6 with other sepsis biomarkers and distinct clinical risk parameters to predict, diagnose, and treat sepsis.
Funding and Financials
Its latest funding round took place in July 2023 , where it secured USD 4.8 million in Phase II SBIR grants from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS). The funds were allocated to support the development and utilization of Prenosis’ Immunix platform for predictive diagnostics, clinical decision support tools, improved clinical trials, and precision medicine drugs for sepsis.
