Fast scans and case review
Our digital pathology solution enables more efficient, remote and collaborative ways of working. With our pathology slide scanners, the Image Management System (IMS) and a comprehensive set of software tools and capabilities, it’s easy to minimize doubt and aid confident diagnosis – fast… For example, pathologists have seen efficiency gains of up to 15-20% per case from making the digital transition [1]. Curious what digital pathology can do for you?
Open and secure pathology image sharing
Our digital pathology solution can be used alongside enterprise-wide IT infrastructure and AI capabilities*, supporting cost-effective productivity and efficiency gains. For example, 35 pathology labs already use the Philips pathology solution and Ibex AI. This combination has been shown to deliver productivity gains of up to 37% in diagnosis [2].
Confidence through collaboration
If you leave the microscope behind, would you ever go back? 100% of pathologists said that going digital helps reach diagnostic consensus and that they would never go back to non-digital [3]. Close to 400 customers and over 20 hospital pathology laboratories have learned about going fully digital with the Philips solution and experienced how it facilitates collaboration with clinical teams through remote consultation, real-time case sharing and multidisciplinary discussions.
