🚨 Think it might be sepsis? New online tool could save your life! 🚨
Health experts have unveiled a game-changing online tool designed to help you determine if you’re at risk of sepsis, a potentially life-threatening condition. Developed by the UK Sepsis Trust and HealthHero, this tool is super easy to use and no medical expertise is needed.
Here’s how it works: Simply answer a few questions about your symptoms, and you’ll get tailored advice on whether you should call 999 or keep an eye on things. It’s the first digital tool of its kind and it’s built to empower you with the right info, straight from top health professionals. 🌟
Why is this important? Sepsis can be sneaky, mimicking symptoms of other illnesses like flu or a chest infection. In the UK alone, 48,000 people die from it each year, while 245,000 are affected!
Dr Ron Daniels of the UK Sepsis Trust emphasises how this tool can make a real difference. Dr Amina Hersi of HealthHero shares her personal story of losing her mum to sepsis, highlighting the tool’s potential to prevent such tragedies in the future. 💔
With sepsis, every minute counts, and this tool puts the power of knowledge right in your pocket, on your phone. Imagine being able to quickly check your concerns, any time, anywhere.
Actor and charity ambassador Jason Watkins has been a vocal advocate for sepsis awareness, having lost his daughter to the condition. He fully supports this tool, urging everyone to ask “Could this be sepsis?” – a question that could save lives.
Let’s spread the word and make sure everyone knows about this life-saving tool. Remember, awareness is everything! ❤️
