Fimlab Is Adopting Proscia’s Software To Realize The Promise Of AI-Enabled Pathology
September 09 2024 - 2:00AM
Fimlab Laboratories, Finland’s largest provider of laboratory
services, research, and training, is taking the next step on its
digital pathology journey with Proscia®, a global leader in
AI-enabled pathology solutions for precision medicine. The company
will use Proscia’s software platform to help its pathologists
generate more precise results with artificial intelligence (AI).
Digital pathology is driving a shift to data-rich images, each
containing billions of pixels that provide one of the most detailed
and direct profiles of diseases like cancer. While laboratories
initially adopted digital pathology to drive efficiency gains, they
are now realizing added value by leveraging AI to unlock insights
from this data that advance precision medicine.
“Artificial intelligence is beginning to solve many of
pathology’s biggest challenges,” said Teemu Tolonen, M.D., Ph.D.,
Chief Physician of Fimlab’s pathology department. “We carefully
evaluated multiple software platforms and are confident Proscia’s
will enable us to achieve a great impact from AI. Its open approach
ensures we can leverage a broad variety of applications in our
routine operations.”
With its intuitive user experience, robust functionality, and
scalability, Proscia’s software can drive all aspects of Fimlab’s
daily work. Pathologists will use the platform’s AI-enabled
workflows to make more consistent interpretations of the most
common types of cancer and drive efficiency. This includes running
applications from Proscia’s growing precision medicine AI
portfolio.
“Fimlab is one of the most innovative laboratories in the
world,” said David West, Proscia’s CEO. “Its team is now advancing
to the forefront of AI-enabled pathology with our software, and we
are incredibly excited to see the impact of our work together.”
Dr. Tolonen will be presenting on Fimlab’s digital pathology
journey during Agilent Technologies’ lunch symposium at the 36th
European Congress of Pathology. Attend the session at 13:00 on
September 10. To learn more about Proscia and see a live
