Digital pathology firm Proscia announced on Tuesday that it has expanded its collaboration with Amazon Web Services by integrating Proscia's Concentriq pathology platform with AWS HealthImaging, a service for storing and sharing whole-slide images in the cloud.

The collaboration will provide users with a cloud-native foundation to accelerate routine workflows and fuel artificial intelligence-driven precision medicine initiatives, Proscia said in a statement. Concentriq, currently delivered as a Software-as-a-Service on AWS, now supports AWS HealthImaging, allowing customers to quickly retrieve whole-slide images from the cloud. AWS HealthImaging also has DICOM-native storage, which Concentriq uses to deliver vendor-neutral data management. 

In addition, pathology data stored in AWS HealthImaging can be accessed through Concentriq and used for AI development and AI-based applications. Concentriq's integration with AWS HealthImaging also reduces IT burden by consolidating legacy archives into the DICOM standard. 

Proscia is a member of the AWS Partner Network and 70 percent of Proscia customers run Concentriq on AWS, the company noted. 

"Expanding our collaboration with AWS through the AWS HealthImaging integration builds on the success we've collectively achieved in helping leading laboratories and life sciences organizations scale AI in pathology," Proscia CTO Coleman Stavish said in a statement. "It reinforces our commitment to interoperability and DICOM standardization while empowering customers to harness the latest cloud services to advance precision medicine."

Earlier this year, Proscia raised $50 million to support its commercial operations and expand adoption of its software platform.
