Royal Philips has announced the expansion of its partnership with Ibex Medical Analytics and a new release of Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution to further accelerate the adoption of AI-enabled digital pathology.
Following the start of the partnership in 2021, Philips and Ibex can now offer even further interoperability of its solutions, aiming to enhance diagnostic workflows for clinicians and enabling better care for more people.
Ibex's AI and Philips’ digital pathology solution have shown to improve reporting efficiency and drive productivity gains of up to 37%. Through this partnership, pathology laboratories are able to utilise Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution (PIPS), which includes the full portfolio of scanners and image management system, and Ibex’s platform of AI-powered tools for prostate, breast and gastric cancer diagnostics.
Expanding access and streamlining the use of AI-powered tools in digital pathology will further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of pathology laboratories. Enabling AI directly in digital pathology workflows empowers clinicians to generate objective, reproducible results, increasing diagnostic confidence and enabling the productivity improvements needed to address the growing demand for pathology-based diagnostics.
By further integrating Ibex's AI with PIPS, the solutions can offer optimised workflows, including help with case prioritisation, AI-powered cancer detection and reporting, providing easier integration of productivity enhancing tools for more confident diagnosis, supporting better patient care.
Philips is also introducing Philips IntelliSite Pathology 6.0, including several new features and AI capabilities into the system. By providing advanced analysis and insights based on the context of the scanned images, pathology teams can access a seamless, AI-powered clinical workflow solution, from case management through to diagnosis and reporting.
PIPS 6.0 features improved workflows and enhancements including full scan mode for the pathology SG scanner and contextual launch of AI and counter marker tool in the image management system, as well as improved scalability. AI focused worklists show AI processing status at a case level and slides can automatically be shared with Ibex AI applications, for processing right after digitization. This new version of the Philips digital pathology solution offers optimised workflows, designed to enhance the efficiency and improved patient care.
