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 standardising siloed data.
The company has integrated its Concentriq platform for pathology from drug discovery to diagnostics with AWS HealthImaging to provide laboratories and life sciences organisations with a cloud-native foundation, accelerating routine workflows and fuelling AI-driven precision medicine initiatives. AWS HealthImaging is a service for storing, analysing, and sharing whole-slide images in the cloud at petabyte scale.
Pathology provides one of the most detailed and direct profiles of diseases like cancer, informing up to 70% of clinical decisions. Proscia’s Concentriq, delivered as a software-as-a-Service on AWS, maximises the value of this data by combining proven workflows, interoperability, and native AI with enterprise-grade security, storage optimisation, and elastic scalability for cost-effective performance at scale. Concentriq now supports AWS HealthImaging, delivering 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 built-in standardisation: with AWS HealthImaging’s purpose-built DICOM-native storage and DICOMweb APIs, Concentriq delivers vendor-neutral data management that advances customers’ current and future enterprise imaging strategies. This standardisation brings pathology together with radiology and other imaging modalities, reducing IT overhead.
- AI data foundation: through Concentriq, pathology data stored in AWS HealthImaging is seamlessly accessible for AI development and readily usable by AI applications. Today, Concentriq customers leverage Proscia-developed, third-party-developed, and homegrown AI tools, all of which can benefit from faster, lower-cost, and standards-compliant access to pathology image data through AWS HealthImaging.
- Simplified migration: By consolidating legacy archives into the DICOM standard, Concentriq’s integration with AWS HealthImaging reduces IT burden without sacrificing data continuity so that laboratories can get up and running quickly.
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, helping laboratories adopt and operationalise 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 total cost of ownership compared to legacy or on-premises systems.
“Expanding our collaboration with AWS through the AWS HealthImaging integration builds on the success we’ve collectively achieved in helping leading laboratories and life sciences organisations scale AI in pathology,” said Coleman Stavish, Chief Technology Officer of Proscia. “It reinforces our commitment to interoperability and DICOM standardisation while empowering customers to harness the latest cloud services to advance precision medicine.”
