This finding emphasizes that chronic disease management must be aligned with effective infection prevention and control to protect this growing at-risk population.
One more reason to adopt enhanced respiratory protection standards, particularly as outlined in the new draft of CSA Z94.4.

The CSA’s revised standard on respirators should help us all breathe easier
New draft standards for respirator use recognize the importance of protecting workers and patients in health-care settings, where there is a higher risk of pathogen exposure

Importantly, the study notes a concerning rise in sepsis-related deaths linked to NCDs, the leading causes being stroke, COPD, and liver disease.
These chronic diseases are frequently complicated by secondary infections, primarily blood stream infections and lower respiratory tract infections.

After decades of progress, the global sepsis burden is rising again, particularly in adults (15+ years old), driven in part because of COVID-19.
Since 1990, adults aged 15+ have seen a 230% rise in sepsis incidence and a 26% rise in sepsis mortality.

NEW: Vehicles registered to Doug Ford's cabinet ministers have been caught by automated speed cameras more than 20 times.
In one case, they were driving 70 in a 40 zone. On average, they were 17 over the limit. #OnPoli

This is a critical place to start because, just as we've seen with technologies like curb cuts, straws, and the electric toothbrush—technologies that were originally designed for people with disabilities—when we design for the margins (or the minority), the majority often benefits as well. 3/4

What stood out to me the most when considering the future of ethical design in technologies and systems was the emphasis on centring the lived experiences of those at the margins. 2/4
