Hyland & Tribun Health partner on digital pathology imaging
Hyland has entered into a partnership with Tribun Health to integrate digital pathology solutions with its enterprise imaging portfolio. The collaboration aims to unify digital pathology with radiology, cardiology, and other imaging specialities, offering healthcare providers a consolidated view of patient imaging records.
AI pathology integration
The combined offering introduces workflows that incorporate artificial intelligence to assist pathologists in delivering faster and potentially more accurate diagnoses. These workflows leverage Tribun Health's CaloPix platform, which integrates with Hyland's established portfolio of imaging archives and clinical viewing solutions.
The system will allow the aggregation of digital pathology images, both gross and whole slide, alongside images from other specialities. This integration is designed to increase efficiency and consistency in diagnostic processes and provide clinicians with a comprehensive patient imaging record accessible from a single platform.
Workflows and collaboration
By bringing together multi-format medical images under a unified record, the solution also supports streamlined collaboration across clinical specialities. Tumour board meetings and multidisciplinary case reviews can be conducted using all pertinent imaging information without switching between different systems.
The joint platform also supports Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standardisation for pathology images. According to Hyland, this standard ensures compatibility with existing medical imaging systems and supports the integration of AI-based diagnostic tools. It is also part of a broader strategy to enhance research capabilities and improve the quality of clinical decision-making.
Jean-François Pomerol, Chief Executive Officer at Tribun Health, described the complexity of pathology workflows and the importance of integrating AI-driven tools.
"Pathology workflows are notoriously intricate, with massive datasets, critical timelines, and frequent collaboration requirements," said Pomerol. "By combining Tribun Health's leading AI pathology platform, CaloPix, with Hyland's proven enterprise imaging capabilities, we're advancing an end-to-end solution that addresses these intricacies by enabling healthcare organizations to dramatically transform their workflow and diagnostic capabilities."
Technology and interoperability
Hyland's enterprise imaging solutions, including its vendor-neutral archive and NilRead clinical viewer, will be set up to work directly with Tribun Health's pathology solutions. These technologies are intended to enable scalability, interoperability, and automation in clinical settings, all while meeting industry requirements for security and data integration.
Support for AI applications within the unified platform is a key focus, stated Hyland. This allows healthcare providers to build on existing infrastructure while exploring new diagnostic and research tools that could improve clinical outcomes and operational efficiencies.
"The integration of Hyland's enterprise medical imaging solutions with Tribun Health's AI pathology platform reflects a meaningful progression in data-driven diagnostics. By unifying medical imaging and digital pathology workflows within an intelligent, interoperable framework, this partnership addresses key challenges in diagnostic speed, accuracy, and collaboration," said Mutaz Shegewi, Senior Research Director, Worldwide Healthcare Provider AI, Platforms and Technologies, IDC. "It illustrates how AI and advanced medical imaging can work together to enhance clinical efficiency and support improved patient outcomes."
