DARPA enlists gamers' help to cure blood infection

DARPA enlists gamers' help to cure blood infection

DARPA, the Pentagon's technology research arm is looking at an unlikely source – the gaming community at large, to enlist their help in finding a cure for a blood infection which makes short work of troops in battlefield hospitals each year. The disease is known as sepsis, which is actually a blood infection that ends up as fatal whenever a patient enters into septic shock as the body tries its darndest best to stave off the infection. Septic shock normally happens after suffering from a massive trauma such as losing an appendage like a hand or leg to a bomb.
