AISight at Scale: Northwestern Medicine Moves to Fully Digital Pathology
PathAI’s AISight® will be deployed across Northwestern Medicine’s 11-hospital network, transforming pathology operations for over 95 practicing pathologists. The platform offers a cloud-native interface for slide management, AI-powered case review, and seamless collaboration. By digitizing pathology end-to-end, AISight enhances efficiency, supports remote review, and drives diagnostic consistency across the health system.
AI Co-Development: From Research Bench to Diagnostic Precision
Beyond platform deployment, PathAI and Northwestern Medicine will jointly create next-gen AI tools targeting clinical gaps. Use cases include early cancer detection, complex biomarker scoring, and identification of under-recognized pathology signatures. By leveraging PathAI’s deep learning expertise and Northwestern’s clinical data and feedback, new algorithms will be developed and refined to meet real-world diagnostic needs.
Clinical Integration: AI Pilots Embedded in Hospital Workflows
PathAI and Northwestern will validate AI tools in live clinical environments, not just retrospective datasets. These pilots ensure algorithmic decisions are safe, reproducible, and clinically meaningful. Pathologists will directly interact with AI-generated insights within the AISight platform, optimizing performance through continuous feedback and deployment in real case settings.
Setting a National Model: AI-Powered Pathology at Institutional Scale
