A Missed Chance to Save Lives—And How We Can Change That
Imagine standing at the bedside of someone you love, knowing their time is coming to an end. The weight of grief is unbearable, but through the pain, you cling to one small solace: their life will not be in vain. Their final gift—the gift of organ donation—will save others.
But then, something goes wrong.
Time passes. The moments stretch into hours. One by one, the transplant teams leave, their life-saving work slipping away. The organs that could have given hope to another family are no longer viable. The chance to turn loss into a legacy is gone.
This is the heartbreaking reality of secondary loss—a devastation that families endure when organ donation is no longer possible. It is a moment of profound sorrow that could have been prevented.
Enter the Donation Advisor.
This groundbreaking AI technology has the power to change everything. By analyzing bedside physiological data, it can predict whether a patient is likely to be a viable organ donor after life support is withdrawn. That means families are given clarity, not false hope. It means fewer heartbreaks, fewer missed opportunities, and more lives saved.
The potential is staggering—not just for patients, but for their families, their communities, and the entire healthcare system. It reduces unnecessary medical costs, streamlines critical transplant procedures, and most importantly, ensures that every possible life-saving opportunity is realized.
This project is not just innovation—it is compassion in action. It is the kind of change that transforms tragedy into something meaningful.
This is the kind of work that deserves to be funded, championed, and brought to life.
Let’s make sure that no family has to experience the pain of knowing their loved one’s final gift was lost. Let’s give them certainty, dignity, and the chance to create a legacy that will live on.
Because every second counts.
