PathPresenter Introduces ConsultConnect, a Zero Footprint Web Portal for Remote Second Opinions

AWS-powered solution enables institutions to scale their pathology remote second opinion programs globally


MONTVILLE, NJ / March 20, 2025 / PathPresenter, a leader in digital pathology workflow software, is pleased to announce ConsultConnect, a new solution for digital pathology consultations and remote second opinions. Built by pathologists and powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), ConsultConnect aims to provide leading institutions with the fastest, easiest, and most cost-effective way to scale their remote second opinion programs globally.

Designed for institutions with significant subspecialty expertise, ConsultConnect addresses the two major barriers to adoption in digital pathology: budgeting and long implementation/integration times. First, ConsultConnect has no upfront implementation fees or subscription fees. Instead, there is a minimal annual commitment and simple “per-consult” pricing. Second, ConsultConnect offers a highly streamlined and simplified onboarding process, allowing institutions to get up and running with their cloud-based solution in days instead of months.

“Digital pathology has long been viewed by institutions as an expense rather than an opportunity. At PathPresenter, we aim to shift that perspective by transforming digital pathology into a profit center while expanding institutions’ global reach,” said Dr. Rajendra Singh, PathPresenter co-founder. “With AWS’s reliable infrastructure and PathPresenter’s expertise, we empower our customers to bridge the gaps in their workflows, making digital pathology a seamless, scalable, and cost-effective solution.”

ConsultConnect features all the tools required by pathologists and institution administrators to deliver remote second opinion services to referring hospitals globally. Core to the platform is a user-friendly, scanner-agnostic image viewer for pathologists to receive, view, and sign out remote second opinion cases. For administrators, the portal provides tools to easily onboard and manage referring hospitals and incoming cases. The zero-footprint platform is monitored 24/7 by industry-leading security and compliance vendor Vanta for HIPAA compliance.

ConsultConnect has been optimized to run on AWS by PathPresenter and partner CitiusTech. With healthcare-focused expertise in medical imaging, CitiusTech leveraged AWS HealthImaging services to ensure ConsultConnect delivers the very best imaging performance and data integrity, including whole slide DICOM file upload functionality. AWS HealthImaging is a purpose-built, HIPAA-eligible service for medical imaging in the cloud, giving customers the performance, scale, and low total cost of ownership needed for large pathology workloads. AWS services provide robust security measures specifically designed for handling patient data across various healthcare entities. With AWS managed services, PathPresenter is providing low-latency, petabyte-scale digital pathology in the cloud.

ConsultConnect will be available to select institutions through an early adopter program. For more information on this program and deploying ConsultConnect, see us at the USCAP Annual Meeting in Boston, MA, March 24-26 in booth 509, or visit www.pathpresenter.com/consultconnect/.

The PathPresenter Clinical Viewer is a digital pathology image viewing and management software. It is approved for research use only and has not been cleared by the FDA as a medical device. It is the responsibility of a qualified pathologist to employ appropriate procedures and safeguards to assure the validity of the interpretation of images obtained using this device. Pathologists should exercise professional judgment in each clinical situation and examine the glass slides by conventional microscopy if there is doubt about the ability to accurately render an interpretation using this device alone.

Montville, NJ | December 11, 2023

PathPresenter, the global image sharing platform for pathology, was recently selected by Cincinnati Children’s to provide an integrated digital pathology workflow solution to meet the health system’s requirements across clinical care, remote consultations, education, and research.

Cincinnati Children’s, which ranks No. 1 in the nation in U.S. News & World Report’s listing of Best Children’s Hospitals for 2023-24, recently completed an extensive selective process to procure a comprehensive digital pathology workflow solution. Cincinnati Children’s, utilizing PathPresenter’s platform, seeks to improve workflow efficiencies (enabled by tight integration with its laboratory information system); expand its digital consultation network; provide new educational capabilities to advance clinical competency testing; and enable enhanced research capabilities with the ability to connect any type of AI algorithm – from 3rd party vendors or developed in-house.

PathPresenter is a secure and scalable multi-tenant enterprise workflow platform that has been developed by pathologists with deep domain knowledge and experience. Trusted by 45+ tier-one institutions, PathPresenter is the most comprehensive suite available for clinical care, remote consultations, education, and research. With expert guidance in storage optimization, tight integration with LIS systems through a proprietary HL7 engine, and robust incorporation of 3rd party and in-house-built AI algorithms, PathPresenter ensures genuine value to institutions – without the marketing noise.

While Cincinnati Children’s doesn’t endorse or sponsor any commercial products, services, or companies, Dr. Jennifer Picarsic, MD, director of Digital Pathology and AP Informatics at Cincinnati Children’s, noted that a successful digital pathology program relies not just on scanning and viewing digital slides, but rather a re-imagined vision for how pathology will be practiced in the future. “As pathology leaders, we seek to build a new digitally integrated workflow that will enhance clinical, education and research opportunities to facilitate new innovations and wider access to our expert pathologists from anywhere in the world,” Picarsic said.

Dr. Rajendra Singh, founder of PathPresenter, added “We are honored to work with the excellent clinical and technical teams at Cincinnati Children’s, given their thorough understanding and deep knowledge of what they need from a workflow provider with a complete focus on improving efficiencies ensuring better care of their precious patients. PathPresenter was created to fill in the gaps in use of digital pathology, and this further fulfills our mission.”
