Unlocks Efficiency Gains with High-Speed
Search, Easy Metadata Tagging, and On-Platform AI Analysis
HistoWiz, a leader in digital pathology services, introduces
PathologyMap™ 2.0, its next-generation digital slide management
solution which leverages advanced AI and metadata analysis to build
on the original’s data viewing, tagging, annotation, and sharing
features for preclinical histopathology slides. PathologyMap 2.0
also introduces on-platform one-click AI analysis including
automated quality control and tissue segmentation for rapidly
checking the quality of images and reliable downstream processing.
Third-party applications are also being introduced, minimizing the
need for customers to purchase additional software for image
analysis and reducing the hassle of integrating multiple AI
solutions.
Commented Linh Hoang, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer,
HistoWiz, “Our lab has been processing and digitizing research and
preclinical histopathology slides since 2013 with our PathologyMap
data management platform enabling customers’ viewing, managing, and
sharing of data for many of those years. PathologyMap already
powers one of the world’s largest collections of digitized research
and preclinical histology slides. This next-generation of
PathologyMap builds on the features our customers already love
about the platform while giving them new ways to work with even
greater efficiency thanks to its innovative UI, easy metadata
integration, and one-click image analysis tools.”
Features of PathologyMap 2.0:
- Flexible metadata integration. The PathologyMap workflow
is highly flexible allowing users to easily upload slides and/or
metadata independent of how that data is organized on their system.
The Samples Editor tool helps users organize, upload, and edit
metadata all in one place and metadata can be added at any point in
time either by user upload (i.e., Excel file) or directly into the
system.
- Lightning-fast search and unparalleled discovery. Search
2.0 is a discovery engine providing an ultra-responsive interface
for exploring entire repositories of histology data. Featuring an
infinite scroll of multi-gigabyte slides and metadata, it
dynamically delivers whole slide images and search results in
milliseconds – orders of magnitude faster than other commercial
platforms. Additionally, Search 2.0 allows users to query any data,
including user-generated inputs. It is a powerful discovery tool
designed to uncover patterns in data across any size of
database.
- Curate collections and collaborate easily with slide
groups. This new slide group function simplifies management by
enabling users to share and control permissions for an entire group
of slides. Users have access to quickly embed images and produce
reports without leaving the platform. The Groups function also
supports additional downstream processing including expert analysis
from a member of the HistoWiz Pathologist Network, image analysis
specialist, or on-platform one-click AI analysis.
- Upload any image, anytime. PathologyMap 2.0 not only
gives users access to their slides digitized at HistoWiz, but they
can upload their own (or third-party) digital images. PathologyMap
2.0 is compatible with all OpenSlide and other format types (SVS,
DICOM, TIFF, OME-TIFF, QP-TIFF, BigTIFF, CZI, and more) with no
complex file mapping required. Metadata and lab notebooks can also
be uploaded and HistoWiz can digitize entire glass slide
collections if needed.
- Rapid one-click analysis with HistoWiz and third-party AI
apps. PathologyMap 2.0 revolutionizes digital pathology with
its groundbreaking AI apps library. This innovative suite of tools
offers researchers seamless integration of advanced AI-driven
analytics, from tissue segmentation to automated quality control
(Auto-QC). By standardizing datasets across various sources,
including internal labs and external CROs, the Auto-QC AI app
ensures consistency and reliability in histological analysis.
Strategic partnerships with AI companies like AIRA Matrix and
Aiosyn further enhance the platform's capabilities, bringing in
specialized tools for intricate analyses. This is a pay-as-you-go
function with no additional software set-up or subscription fees
required.
