Abtrace
FACING THE CHALLENGES OF TOMORROW WITH INNOVATION TODAY
THE ABTRACE STORY
Abtrace is a previous winner of the EIT Health Wild Card programme, which challenges Europe’s innovators and game-changers, regardless of their background, to solve some of the most complex healthcare issues. Visit the Wild Card website to find out more about this programme.
Over a two-year period, EIT Health will provide Abtrace with access to resources that help fledgling ideas and businesses to grow and prosper, exposure to leading experts in healthcare, and funding. Abtrace processes healthcare data through an augmented decision-making tool, comparing it to billions of data points and presenting a recommendation for which, if any, antibiotic should be prescribed. The solution enables clinicians to make better informed decisions when prescribing antibiotics, helping to reduce overuse and misuse, which ultimately contributes to the fight against AMR.
The founders of Abtrace feel passionately about contributing to the fight against AMR, having seen the human cost of drug resistant organisms first hand in both their working and personal lives. They bring together complementary backgrounds – a frontline clinician and digital health innovator, a scientist and a biomedical engineer.
