PathAssist Derm Launches on AISight®: Advancing Dermatopathology Research Workflows using AI

Now available on the AISight® Platform, PathAssist Derm is an AI-assisted histopathology tool that enhances dermatopathology research workflows, accelerating skin cancer research

BOSTON, Feb. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PathAI, a leader in AI-powered pathology solutions, today announced the launch of PathAssist Derm, an AI tool for orienting, identifying, and measuring skin lesions. Available now on the AISight® Image Management System (IMS), this research tool enables identification of skin lesions based on possible entities in the specimen with the potential to help expedite sample review.

PathAssist Derm is designed to provide assistance in the assessment of skin specimens. By automating specimen orientation, PathAssist Derm removes the need to manually orient glass slides. It can predict the presence of 17 entities – including both common entities like actinic keratoses and basal cell carcinomas as well as more rare entities like lichenoid keratoses or melanomas. The tool can additionally provide detailed measurements of the lesion itself. PathAI will be reporting performance results at the upcoming USCAP meeting in March 2025, and is partnering with multiple laboratories to further investigate the potential impacts on efficiency.

“Skin cancer remains the most prevalent cancer worldwide, with over 1.5 million new cases diagnosed annually, which are associated with 60,000 deaths from melanoma alone,” said Andrew Beck, Co-Founder & CEO of PathAI. “These statistics present a critical opportunity for innovation in skin cancer research, both in the diagnostic and therapeutic realms. Our goal with PathAssist Derm is to provide researchers with a scalable tool that enhances dermatopathology research through AI-enabled lesion characterization and workflow efficiency, as part of our overall vision to improve patient outcomes with AI-powered pathology.”

PathAssist Derm is PathAI’s first AI product offering such broad characterization of dermatopathology entities, and further expands the suite of AI-powered solutions available on the AISight® IMS. As the AISight® Image Management System continues to expand with new solutions, pathologists gain access to a comprehensive suite of tools that streamline their workflow, improve efficiency and reduce time spent on manual tasks. With each of our new advancements, pathologists are better equipped to deliver precise, actionable insights for diagnostic research.
