Pioneering digital pathology to better support you

At Unilabs, we are at the forefront of adopting digital pathology as a transformative technology for pathology diagnostics.
This practice involves scanning tissue slides to analyse and interpret high-resolution images on digital screens eliminating the need for physical sample transfer.

Digitalisation of our pathology services is designed to create a seamless network among all our labs across Europe, with the aim to:

Facilitate further specialisation
which will enhance the quality of service and expands capacity to enable the swift processing of your cases.

Improve your access to field experts
irrespective of geographical location, for second opinions when needed.

Conveniently access to diagnostic reports 
anywhere and anytime.

Offer cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI)

 

Artificial Intelligence increases quality and speed

Unilabs is actively researching the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in various medical fields. Although pathologists maintain control over any diagnostics decisions, AI systems offer valuable support to enhance their decision-making abilities.

Detecting cervical cancer in a faster and more reliable way
Our systems grant our pathologists access to an AI-generated gallery of diagnostically relevant images, enhancing the speed and reliability of treatment decisions. The AI technology enables remote image sharing for any required second opinions. In our labs, this solution has yielded promising results, with a 33% increase in productivity, allowing for the examination of more cases per day and reducing the average turnaround time from five days to four. There has also been a 40% decrease in ambiguous cases, leading to an overall improvement in the quality of our work.

Prostate cancer detection through AI tissue analysis
We use an AI-powered solution designed to assist pathologists in diagnosing prostate cancer. It analyses prostate biopsies, detects cancerous regions, and grades tumours. The system helps the pathologist point to the relevant areas of the images, enhancing quality, reliability and efficiency in cancer diagnosis.

Enhancing quality and efficiency across our laboratory and logistics networks

We are continuously working on streamlining and standardising our laboratory procedures and logistics networks to improve the quality and productivity of our operations.

  • With over 400 highly skilled technicians we provide a robust and collaborative environment that ensures meticulous analysis and interpretation of tissue sample for fast and high-quality results delivery.
  • Process driven mindset to streamline workflows and reduce the margin for error enhancing diagnostics quality to support you best.
  • Proximity to you and your patients through an extensive collection and logistics network supported by a strong laboratory infrastructure.
  • Aim to reduce turnaround times (TATs) which significantly improve the diagnostic process. Rapid and reliable results enable timely clinical decisions, allowing patients to receive the treatment without unnecessary delays
