Challenge & Solution

Laboratory technologists analyzing wet mount iodine-stained slides for parasites face a difficult task. Most of the samples are negative, it takes a high amount of specialized training, and looking through a microscope all day can be laborious.

The Techcyte solution digitizes the samples and uses AI-powered analysis to enhance diagnostic accuracy, streamline the reporting process, and improve the working conditions of the medical technologists performing the reads.
