The Ohio State University researchers Drs. Ramiro Toribio and Katarzyna Dembek have developed a mobile application – FoalScore – to be used by veterinarians to determine the probability of survival and sepsis in sick newborn foals. FoalScore allows veterinarians to enter the foal vital signs and blood work information to calculate likelihood of sepsis and survival, based on the published foal sepsis and survival scores. The application also allows users to store and share results from both scoring methods.
