Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche is teaming up with artificial intelligence vendor Ibex Medical Analytics and Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud hosting arm of Amazon, to bring AI-driven diagnostic support tools to pathology laboratories. Roche, Ibex and AWS have collaborated to enable access to Ibex's AI-powered decision support tools through Roche's Navify digital pathology platform.

Digital pathology technology is designed to streamline workflows and enhance laboratory diagnostic efficiency. Combined with AI, it has the potential to boost productivity and reduce turnaround times in those labs. To this end, Ibexs AI tools will be integrated into the Navify digital pathology platform and used to aid clinicians in diagnosing breast and prostate cancer, according to a press release from the companies.

This partnership will support biopsy diagnosis, cancer grading, subtype identification, and the recognition of noncancerous features. Additionally, it supports the review and analysis of slide images.

"Our collaboration with Roche is driving new AI-powered workflows that help pathologists and laboratories realize the full potential of going digital," Joseph Mossel, CEO and co-founder of Ibex Medical Analytics, said in a statement. "The next phase in the evolution of digital pathology is open platforms that enable technology providers to join forces and offer integrated software solutions that improve lab efficiency, biopsy review and ultimately the quality of patient care."
