SRL Diagnostics Partners with PathPresenter to Enable Digital Pathology Consultations

Gurugram, India and Montville, NJ | March 08, 2023 09:00 AM, Eastern

SRL Diagnostics (now known as Agilus Diagnostics), India’s largest diagnostics services network, today announced that it has partnered with PathPresenter, the global image sharing platform for pathology, to enable digital pathology consultations between SRL’s state of the art reference laboratories in Mumbai, Gurugram, and Bengaluru.

SRL has been at the forefront of introducing and adopting the latest in advanced laboratory technologies. With robust IT infrastructure and information management system, SRL Diagnostics is all set to pioneer digital pathology and its large scale adoption in India. SRL Diagnostics will deploy PathPresenter’s clinical consultation platform to empower specialist pathologists at the company’s reference laboratories to quickly and easily sign-out pathology cases uploaded from remote locations in SRL’s laboratory network. This new capability represents a significant shift from a microscope-based standard of care to the use of digital whole slide images, which will help lay the foundation for SRL pathologists to deliver second opinion services that can better inform patient treatment decisions and sets a new benchmark of use of the technology of digital pathology in India.

Announcing the partnership, Mr. Anand K, Chief Executive Officer of SRL Diagnostics said “Digital Pathology circumvents the need to travel to a workplace to report cases; thereby ensuring that clinicians and patients get accurate diagnostic insights wherever they are. Through this partnership, we are proud and excited to pioneer this on a large scale in India and raise the bar of diagnostic excellence. In addition to enabling multi-site collaborations, the PathPresenter platform will also aid in disease research involving pathology informatics that requires the archival, retrieval, organization and seamless sharing and analyzing of data sets created by anatomic pathologists. With widespread adoption, digital pathology will also help us reduce our carbon footprint by reducing the logistical requirements of transporting samples for consultation and review.”

Dr. Rajendra Singh, Founder of PathPresenter, added “We are thrilled to collaborate with India’s leading diagnostic pathology service provider and create the infrastructure for patients to get a faster report from the most skilled pathologists in the country. This partnership is in line with our mission to help democratize access to the world’s pathology knowledge by connecting pathologists to the vast expertise of their colleagues globally and providing a practical and secure platform to access and use best-in-class AI models.”

Dr. Kunal Sharma, Associate Director, CoE, Histopathology said “This collaboration will add impetus to our rapidly expanding digital pathology network. The digitized slides, which are high definition images of glass slides developed from processed tissue blocks, are instantly accessible to pathologists across the globe. This not only mitigates delays due to physical transportation of blocks but also prevents tissue exhaustion due to repeat slide preparation, especially in cases for review/expert opinion. With the PathPresenter platform, we get a seamless and secure access to our digitized cases enabling structured reports integrated with our Lab Information System. It also facilitates development of algorithms using Artificial Intelligence tools, alleviating the subjectivity in reporting.”

Given the technology and data revolution in the Indian healthcare system, it will not be long before Digital Pathology becomes a standard of care in laboratory setting where data and artificial intelligence algorithms will transform patient diagnosis and therapeutic management.

mTuitive and PathPresenter Partner to Bring Structured Pathology Reporting and Compliance to Digital Pathology Workflow

October 12, 2022

BOSTON, MA and MONTVILLE, NJ – mTuitive, Inc. and PathPresenter Corporation today announced a new partnership to deliver an enhanced pathologist reporting experience that will unify powerful digital tools, AI algorithms, and synoptic reporting to produce precise, comprehensive, data-driven reports that enable precision patient care and unparalleled retrospective analysis.  Together, the two organizations bring their medical and technical expertise to laboratories and hospitals ensuring compliance with national requirements while fueling important analytic and reporting work downstream. mTuitive’s flagship product, CAP eFRM™, integrates with PathPresenter image management system using the latest SMART-on-FHIR technology for a seamless interface that boosts efficient workflows for their users.

The partnership fuels the tight integration between PathPresenter and mTuitive, allowing PathPresenter to prepopulate fields in CAP eFRM, pulled directly from PathPresenter’s digital viewer. This boosts physician efficiency without any detriment to the quality or completeness of their work — in fact, required fields and other operations improve and ensure comprehensiveness of these reports, which can be signed out directly in PathPresenter, xPert, or the laboratory’s information system.

“As digital adoption in pathology grows, healthcare providers will need to develop clear strategies for effectively managing the workload that faces the dwindling pathologist population,” commented Imogen Fitt, Market Analyst at Signify Research. “Automating and standardizing the reporting process will increase efficiency by enabling pathologists to focus on more complex tasks. Ultimately this will be essential in providing the short-term ROI providers seek.”

A customized pre-analytic workflow starts in the PathPresenter image management system by prioritizing cases to be reviewed. Contextually understood data is extracted using AI algorithms run on the images and prepopulates critical diagnostic values into reporting protocols in CAP eFRM. CAP eFRM allows the pathologist to complete their diagnosis and build a comprehensive synoptic report that can be signed out or returned to the APLIS. In the analytical phase, real-time results are exchanged between PathPresenter’s powerful real-time tools, third-party plug-ins, and CAP eFRM. Discrete, coded data is retained with the annotated images for future use. The structured data in CAP eFRM and PathPresenter can be searched and utilized for reporting and analytics, sharing downstream with data lakes and registries, and variety of services like identifying images to train machine learning models, validating AI results, or identifying appropriate tissue for research projects.

“Automating reporting workflow will be a boon to digital pathology adoption in institutions,” added Patrick Myles, CEO of PathPresenter. “Partnering with reporting workflow leader, mTuitive, is an important step forward to help deliver on the promise of increased efficiency in digital workflows.”

“This partnership will unleash the power of the data that pathologists collect while also continuing to make for more accurate and more efficient reporting,” said Colin Murphy, CEO of mTuitive, Inc.

mTuitive and PathPresenter maintain standards put forth by organizations like College of American Pathologists (CAP) promoting best practices for reporting and compliance with accreditation requirements. The information captured through the digital viewer and within the reports can also be SNOMED-CT coded to assist in better communication between physicians and even faster workflow within the laboratory’s system.

About mTuitive, Inc.

Based out of Massachusetts, mTuitive was the first company to license the Cancer Protocols content from the CAP for pathology and the ACS for surgery. mTuitive has been leading the way with synoptic reporting in healthcare since 2003. Co-founded by a surgical pathologist who saw how much powerful information is locked inside unsearchable, unstructured text. The company developed new technology and proprietary authoring tools to create reports that would be easy-to-use for physicians, vastly improving the workflow while ensuring comprehensiveness of the reports and gained much success worldwide through its innovative approaches. Eventually partnering with the College on the CAP eFRM pathology reporting solution, mTuitive has also created similar reporting offerings for surgery, mental health, radiology, and more.
