Pathology teams worldwide face rising caseloads, workforce shortages, and analogue workflows that limit efficiency and collaboration. Traditional microscope‑based processes make it difficult to share expertise, are less efficient, and limit the use of AI‑enabled¹ insights that can enhance productivity and can bring greater consistency to modern digital workflows.

Digital pathology opens the door to a more connected, flexible, and data driven approach. By transforming microscope bound, site restricted processes into digital workflows, it enhances collaboration, supports remote case review, and improves efficiency and unlocks the potential for AI into everyday practice. According to the KLAS Research ‘U.S. Digital Pathology 2023’ Performance Insights report², Philips has one of the largest customer bases for primary diagnosis in digital pathology worldwide. And for good reason: Labs using Philips digital pathology solution save up to 19 hours per day on logistics and reading and diagnose 21% more cases², helping care teams deliver timely diagnosis for more patients.

“At Philips, we bring proven innovation and deep clinical expertise in digital pathology workflows, enabling pathologists and care teams to work as one. In doing so, we help them focus on what matters most: delivering faster answers, greater diagnostic confidence, and better outcomes for patients.”

Martijn Hartjes, Business Unit Leader Clinical Informatics, Philips Healthcare

Philips Digital Pathology delivers a full end‑to‑end, FDA‑cleared clinical digital pathology solution. Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution (PIPS) combines high‑throughput whole‑slide scanners, an intuitive Image Management System, clinically validated monitors, scalable and secure storage, with expert professional services.  Designed for multidisciplinary workflows and interoperable with enterprise IT environments and third party AI¹, Philips provides a complete ecosystem that helps teams adopt digital pathology quickly and confidently.

Teams typically adapt in just eight days following six hours of training, achieving up to 25%³ productivity gains, and up to 37% when AI is used^4. By uniting technology and services, Philips helps labs avoid fragmentation and limited Return On Investment (ROI)⁸.

“Philips leads the global healthcare industry in patent applications. This propensity for innovation has positioned the company at the forefront of one of the sector’s fastest-growing fields: digital pathology. Building on this legacy, Philips Healthcare has emerged as a global leader in digital pathology.”

Melissa Kenig, Frost & Sullivan

Philips pioneered digital pathology as the first company to deliver a fully FDA-approved solution, and today we support pathology labs at every stage of digital maturity. From first-time adoption, to helping labs move beyond hybrid constraints, to optimizing and scaling fully digital operations, our professional services guide confident, sustainable transformation.

With a proven, services‑led approach, Philips accelerates transformation by leading change management, fast-tracking the shift from analogue to digital, and supporting ROI. Through goal aligned‑ planning, seamless LIS/EMR integration, end-to-end team education, onsite support, and post–go live optimization, we help labs become production ready‑ in as little as six months, with most achieving ROI in under two years.⁸

“Philips support went far beyond equipment delivery. Their commitment was clear: to not only deploy the system but to ensure it’s full integration into our diagnostic workflow”                                 

Dr. Juan Pablo de la Fuente Escobar,  Head of pathology, Hospital Universitario Quirónsalud Madrid

Backed by decades of real‑world deployments, Philips delivers a comprehensive portfolio of services that streamline workflow transformation, strengthen clinical adoption through dedicated change management support, and unlock the full value of digital pathology. We empower customers to expand, optimize, and elevate their digital workflows, helping care teams to deliver faster answers with greater diagnostic confidence, ultimately providing better care for patients.

Digital workflows foster collaboration, from rapid second opinions in pathology to integrated team interactions in multidisciplinary tumor boards. Philips Image Management System (IMS) enables real-time image sharing and LIS interoperability, while our Professional Services address workflow bottlenecks and drive effective change management, supporting a smooth transition from analogue to fully digital pathology workflows. For installed‑base and hybrid customers, we also help continuously optimize and expand digital workflows, supporting long‑term performance, scalability, and sustained clinical value. The impact is clear: 96% of pathologists report greater efficiency, and 100% confirm improved diagnostic consensus⁵ across multi-site networks.

“This is an infrastructure and cultural transformation, not just a cost saving exercise. The non-financial return on investment matters: recruitment, modernization, workflow efficiency, and readiness for AI. Being fully digital changes what becomes possible next.”

Dr. Syed Hoda, Director of digital pathology & bone and soft tissue pathology, NYU Langone Health

Going digital is the first step toward efficient, more consistent pathology workflows, and adding AI amplifies that impact even further. As labs mature digitally, interoperability becomes essential for scaling services, integrating AI¹ responsibly, and connecting pathology into the broader enterprise, empowering pathology teams to work quickly, consistently, and with greater diagnostic certainty. Our open platform allows leading AI partners to integrate, giving pathologists AI-powered insights contextually launch from the IMS viewer⁶.
