Digital pathology
Accelerate the path from images to answers
Pathology labs face pressure on multiple fronts. Our solutions speed the transition to fully-digital pathology workflows so you can do more with less. It's not just insights; it unlocks the potential for integrated diagnostics and interoperability with cloud, and AI*. Giving clinicians deeper, data-driven clinical insights to accelerate the path from images to answers.
Fast scans and case review
Our digital pathology solution enables more efficient, remote and collaborative ways of working. With our pathology slide scanners, the Image Management System (IMS) and a comprehensive set of software tools and capabilities, it’s easy to minimize doubt and aid confident diagnosis – fast.. For example, pathologists have seen efficiency gains of up to 15-20% per case from making the digital transition [2]. Curious what digital pathology can do for you?
Open and secure image sharing
Our digital pathology solution can be used alongside with enterprise-wide IT infrastructure and AI capabilities*, allowing for cost-effective productivity and efficiency gains. For example, 35 pathology labs already use the Philips pathology solution and Ibex AI. This has been shown to result in up to 37% productivity gains for diagnosis [4].
Confidence through collaboration
If you leave the microscope behind, would you ever go back? 100% of pathologist said that going digital helps reach diagnostic consensus and that they would never go back to non-digital [1]. Close to 400 customers and over 20 hospital pathology laboratories have learned about going fully digital with the Philips solution and experienced how It facilitates collaboration with clinical teams through remote consultation, real-time case sharing and multidisciplinary discussions.

PIPS can be used for in vitro diagnostic purposes. The system can aid pathologists to review and interpret digital images of surgical pathology slides prepared from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue. PIPS is not available for sale in all countries.
PIPS enables iSyntax files and with the Software Development Kit (SDK) third-party companies can use this for AI capabilities.
PIPS 6 and Ibex AI are Research Use Only (RUO) in the U.S.
