What You Should Know:
– Proscia, a pathology AI company, has announced the next step in its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to address two of digital pathology’s most pressing challenges: managing surging data volumes and standardizing siloed data.
– The company has integrated its Concentriq® platform with AWS HealthImaging, providing laboratories and life sciences organizations with a cloud-native foundation to accelerate workflows and fuel AI-driven precision medicine initiatives. AWS HealthImaging is a HIPAA-eligible service for storing, analyzing, and sharing whole slide images in the cloud at petabyte scale.
Key Benefits of AWS HealthImaging Integration
Pathology provides a detailed and direct profile of diseases like cancer, informing up to 70% of clinical decisions. Concentriq, which is delivered as a Software-as-a-Service on AWS, maximizes the value of this data by combining proven workflows, interoperability, and native AI with enterprise-grade security, storage optimization, and elastic scalability.
The integration of Concentriq with AWS HealthImaging delivers several critical benefits for customers managing whole slide image data, including:
- Fast retrieval: Customers can quickly access whole slide images from the cloud with sub-second time-to-first-image, enabling high-throughput workflows.
- Enterprise-scale interoperability and standardization: AWS HealthImaging’s purpose-built DICOM-native storage and DICOMweb™ APIs help Concentriq deliver vendor-neutral data management that brings pathology together with radiology and other imaging modalities. This standardization reduces IT overhead.
- AI data foundation: Pathology data stored in AWS HealthImaging is now seamlessly accessible for AI development and readily usable by AI applications.
- Simplified migration: By consolidating legacy archives into the DICOM standard, the integration reduces IT burden, allowing laboratories to get up and running quickly.
A Deepening Collaboration with AWS
The integration with AWS HealthImaging builds on Proscia’s longstanding collaboration with AWS. As a member of the AWS Partner Network (APN), Proscia delivers fully managed, cloud-native deployments of Concentriq, which helps laboratories adopt and operationalize AI-driven pathology with greater speed and agility. Today, 70% of Proscia customers run Concentriq on AWS, achieving implementations up to five times faster and lowering the total cost of ownership compared to legacy systems.
