Perform your diagnostics from any location

PathoZoom® Digital Lab is the most advanced way to work in pathology: You can diagnose at any time from any place, share cases digitally in real-time with colleagues even outside the institute and use artificial intelligence as an assistance system. This makes your team more flexible and productive than ever before.

Work together anywhere, anytime

With PathoZoom® Digital Lab, you can digitize slides with any slide scanner or scanned manually with PathoZoom® Scan/LiveView technology. Pathologists, remote lab personnel, or external staff can access the cases with any Internet-capable computer, tablet, or smartphone — data protection compliant, without time delay, and in original quality.

PathoZoom® Digital Lab seamlessly integrates with your LIS: Open a case, and the slides become instantly visible. The system works with all microscope scanners and barcode printers. The image data is stored securely, separated from the patient data, and protected from others.

Ready for AI

PathoZoom® Digital Lab is also the perfect platform for the use of Artificial Intelligence in pathology: physicians and AI experts can work together on the development of new AI modules without being in the same place: Pathologists classify cells and structures, AI developers automatically read out the digitally marked regions of interest via the Digital Lab interface. This makes the development of new AI super simple.

Also, PathoZoom® Digital Lab can integrate any AI, which others have developed, right into your diagnostic workflow!

Digital Lab in your daily life

1. Digital Archive

Whether you scan slides through your microscope using the PathoZoom® Scan software or use automatic slide scanners already implemented in the diagnostic process: You can save all digitized slides on your own hospital server as well as in your PathoZoom® SlideCloud. Thus, you are able to access them as quickly as possible without having to search for the glass slides in the archive.

2. Get second opinions at ease

By sharing slides online or starting live microscopy sessions in seconds, you can significantly improve patient outcomes: you can consult the right expert in the shortest possible time, wherever he or she is in the world. Simply send them a link to your case, and you will have his or her second opinion in no time.

3. Faster diagnoses for patients

With PathoZoom® Digital Lab you can diagnose faster than with your microscope! You zoom through the digital slides at lightning speed and change them faster than your glass slides. Annotate important areas or use the general commentary function to dictate the case more quickly when re-accessing it.

4. AI-ready — automate annoying routine tasks

Just by digitalizing your workflows and collaborating with colleagues in Digital Lab, you can save a lot of time. Furthermore, PathoZoom® offers you the possibility to automate routine tasks: For example, use the Diagnostic Assistant for the quantification of tumor cells. It analyzes Ki67, ER/PR, etc. in your microscope image within seconds. This allows you to deliver high-quality diagnoses even under time pressure reliably.

Mastering current challenges

More cases, fewer specialists

According to forecasts, the need for cancer diagnoses will increase by up to 70 % in the next 20 years. On the other hand, there are fewer trained pathologists. Pathologies must develop new strategies to ensure patient care: resort to external (part-time) staff or enable work in the home office. The PathoZoom® Digital Lab is the complete solution for these new working models: The software helps pathologists to use their work time flexibly and efficiently, regardless of location.

Accelerate diagnoses

The transport of slides by courier/mail to external pathologists delays the diagnosis at the patient’s expense. In PathoZoom® Digital Lab, the pathologist — in-house or remotely — accesses the cases immediately on his computer, can diagnose them quickly and share them with colleagues for a second opinion by mouse click.

Increase overall effectiveness

PathoZoom® Digital Lab enables flexible use of substitutes, easy handling of work peaks, better planning of work distribution and saving travel time. In addition, the Digital Lab often meets employees’ wishes for work-life balance and more flexibility in working hours.

Save time and costs

Sending glass slides costs time and money: Often, the right slides have to be painstakingly searched for in the archive and then elaborately packed to avoid damaging the fragile glass. All this costs valuable resources, which are saved by digitizing the slides and collaborating in PathoZoom® Digital Lab.

“Thanks to the digital lab suite of PathoZoom®, I can not only work from anywhere and at any time, but I can also connect with colleagues all over the world just with one mouse-click.”
