Tulsa ER & Hospital chief medical officer and ER Physician Dr Mark Blubaugh said: “We at Tulsa ER & Hospital are excited to offer the new MeMed BV test. The FDA-approved lab test will assist us in deciphering between viral and bacterial infections when conventional testing fails to do so.

“The 15-minute results will help guide physicians in the appropriate utilisation of antibiotics. We look forward to continuing to serve the Tulsa community by providing quality state-of-the-art emergency room and inpatient hospital care.”

By applying machine learning MeMed’s technology can translate the complex signaling of the immune system into simple, actionable diagnostic insights.

This approach enables quick and precise diagnosis even in cases where the infection site is not accessible, such as respiratory tract infections.
