Colon Biopsy Screening with AI

Reducing the burden of colon screening

With around 97% of NHS pathology labs facing staff shortages¹, there is a pressing need for AI-assistance to help reduce the burden of tasks such as colon biopsy screening.

Our AI-powered colon biopsy screening tool streamlines clinical workflows by removing normal slides that do not require further intervention from pathologists. For slides flagged as abnormal by our tool, we offer triaging and decision support to further optimise the screening process.

This tool is currently for research use only and is currently going through CE-IVDR regulation.

"A significant workload in pathology departments comprises colonoscopic biopsies, with a notable percentage featuring normal tissue morphology. Histofy's AI tool, designed to identify and exclude this subgroup from the pathologist's workload, has the potential to substantially decrease reporting times and optimise the utilisation of specialist pathologist reporting sessions."
