SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Deep Bio, a leading AI biotech dedicated to cancer diagnosis, announced that it has entered into a collaboration agreement with Paris-based digital pathology leader, Tribun Health. Under the agreement, the two companies will harness the power of AI in digital pathology to improve cancer patient care.
Pathology has been facing major challenges to meet the increasing demands in cancer diagnostics, mainly due to the decreasing number of pathologists and increasing number of cases for early detection of cancer. Other challenges in pathology include diagnostic variability that can impact treatment decisions. AI cancer diagnostic supports are emerging as innovative tools to help overcome some of these challenges by providing fast and consistent results. DeepDx® Prostate, Deep Bio’s deep learning-based prostate cancer diagnostic support software, aids pathologists in making fast and consistent diagnostic decisions for prostate cancer.
Recently, Tribun Health unveiled the “Tribun Health Platform”, with at its core, CaloPix, the gold standard in Image Management and analysis for pathology. DeepDx® Prostate will become one of the first prostate cancer diagnostic software to be integrated within the platform. Using CaloPix, pathologists can now leverage automated prostate cancer image analysis, powered by AI. Beyond this first algorithm, Deep Bio’s other prostate cancer diagnostic support solutions for TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) and prostatectomy whole-mount resections may also be added to the platform.
“We are excited to collaborate with Tribun Health, a global leader in AI-powered digital pathology. We are confident that our software’s robust performance and Tribun Health’s extensive experience in digital pathology will not only add great diagnostic value but also address challenges pathologists are currently facing, one of which is the increasing workload”, said Sun Woo Kim, the CEO of Deep Bio. “We also believe that our partnership will strengthen our position in the global market especially in Europe and Canada and provide an opportunity to solidify our leadership in AI-based cancer diagnostics.”
“We are happy to announce this collaboration with Deep Bio on this algorithm for prostate cancer diagnostics. The Tribun Health Platform we just launched in October was designed from the ground up to run automation algorithms either developed by our team or by partners with one goal in mind: to help our clients with the best integrated platform for pathology diagnostics. We are confident that this type of collaboration will accelerate the adoption of digital pathology with the significant benefits we are all working to deliver, the most important of which being better patient outcomes”, said Jean-François Pomerol, the CEO of Tribun Health.
