By AIT News Desk On Feb 3, 2022

Multi-year agreement will power 100% digitization of Uppsala’s clinical workflow and future AI integrations

Proscia, the leader in digital and computational pathology solutions, and Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden’s oldest university hospital announced a multi-year agreement to fully digitize the region’s pathology workflows. The division of Laboratory Medicine at Uppsala University Hospital has selected Proscia’s Concentriq Dx® digital pathology solution for full-scale digitization and future deployment of AI applications in routine operations at scale, empowering the region’s pathologists to drive increased quality and productivity gains and unlock hidden insights to better inform patient care.

The widespread adoption of digital pathology is enabling laboratories to push past the limitations of traditional pathology practices. As laboratories adopt digital pathology, they must leverage a complex ecosystem of hardware and software solutions that each play a key role in the pathologist’s workflow. These laboratories are now recognizing that practicing digital pathology at scale requires an open approach grounded on broad interoperability to centralize critical data and routine operations. Uppsala University Hospital selected Proscia for its novel ability to empower the modern laboratory with its enterprise-class platform that addresses current and future requirements, strategically improves decision-making, drives new discoveries, and accelerates medical breakthroughs.

Proscia’s technology will drive Uppsala’s modernization efforts and its goal of becoming completely digitized. The technology will support the region in achieving widespread, seamless integration with leading scanners, laboratory information systems, and image analysis applications. Proscia’s Concentriq will equip the clinical pathology lab at University Hospital with streamlined and intuitive workflows that ensure secure, remote access to cases and images.
