Product in Focus | Paige AppLab

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare technology, digital pathology stands out as a transformative tool, offering the promise of enhanced efficiency, reduced administrative workload, and greater diagnostic precision. To fully realize the advantages of digital pathology, it is essential to prioritize reducing adoption barriers and improving the daily user experience, both of which are central to Paige’s mission.

Meeting Growing Demand

The rising number of cancer cases, combined with a shortage of pathologists, has generated a demand for tools that streamline pathology practice and offer specialized diagnostic support. Many companies are acknowledging this demand and developing innovative solutions that aim to address both routine tasks and advanced diagnostic requirements, contributing to the optimization of pathology practice. However, these valuable tools often operate independently of each other, missing the opportunity for their combined use in a single diagnosis.

Connecting the World of Pathology

The Paige AppLab™ effectively addresses the crucial gap in the pathology landscape by seamlessly integrating digital pathology and AI tools into a centralized marketplace. This marketplace is open to any AI vendor, providing pathologists with the necessary tools to uniquely meet their needs.

Within its user-friendly interface, pathologists can effortlessly choose and implement any available application with just a few clicks, eliminating the need to navigate through or use multiple platforms. The AppLab ensures deep integration of all applications into the pathology workflow, creating a comprehensive environment for end-to-end diagnosis. This integration is pivotal for enhancing efficiency and intelligence in diagnosis to support pathologists in meeting the evolving demands of modern patients.

Beyond just a marketplace, the AppLab represents a step toward creating a world where more pathologists can unlock the benefits of the latest technology in the field, and where patients can reap the benefits of decreased turnaround times and increased precision – with collaboration being central to this achievement. We are pleased to have recently partnered with several pioneering companies who will add a robust array of diagnostic and prognostic support solutions to the AppLab to help propel digital adoption and improve patient care. These partners include:
