Sectra Expands AI Solutions to Optimize Pathology Services
International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT B) has recently established an agreement with Paige.AI, a vendor specializing in AI for pathology. This partnership aims to revolutionize the healthcare landscape by enabling pathologists to access AI applications through a single contract, thus simplifying the entire implementation and support process.
According to Nynke Breimer, Global Product Manager for Amplifier Services at Sectra, the company is deeply committed to enhancing cancer care. This new offering represents a significant step toward creating a unified solution that aligns imaging requirements across various medical specialties, including radiology, pathology, and genomics. Such integration is essential for optimizing cancer diagnostics and promoting collaborative efforts among healthcare providers.
Breimer emphasizes that there are notable barriers to the clinical adoption of AI within the healthcare sector. However, the collaboration with Paige, combined with an ongoing project with Region Skåne, showcases Sectra's commitment to overcoming these challenges and paving the way for effective pathology AI applications. This project serves as a foundational step in implementing AI in real-world clinical settings.
In early 2025, Region Skåne launched a proof-of-concept initiative focusing on the Paige Prostate Suite within their pathology workflows. This innovative approach integrates AI technology to enhance diagnostic efficiency by providing pathologists with automated results. This collaboration aims to create applicable insights that can facilitate other AI implementations both within and beyond Region Skåne, with a goal of improving cancer care standards.
Kevin Sandeman, Head of Digital Pathology Development at Region Skåne, points out that prostate cancer represents a high-volume diagnostic challenge. The robust workflows and availability of CE-marked AI tools make it an ideal starting point for proof-of-concept efforts, allowing healthcare teams to explore real-world applications of AI while ensuring safety and effectiveness in cancer diagnostics.
The Sectra Amplifier Service delivers a fully managed AI platform accessible via the cloud. This offering streamlines the entire process, taking full responsibility for workflow management, integration, deployment, and ongoing support. By centralizing AI applications within a single infrastructure, healthcare providers can avoid the complexities and security risks associated with managing multiple systems.
The distribution agreement signed with Paige reinforces Sectra's dedication to providing cutting-edge AI services. By acting as a reseller for the Paige Prostate Suite through their Amplifier Service, Sectra continues to lead innovation in healthcare technology solutions.
Sectra’s Amplifier Service is designed to be part of its expansive enterprise imaging solution, which aims to consolidate all imaging needs into one cohesive system. This innovative approach not only enhances medical outcomes but also helps reduce operational expenditures. The scalable and modular nature of this solution allows healthcare providers to adapt and grow without the need for new backend systems.
