Deciphex

Nominated Award: Best Application of AI in a Startup
Website of Company: https://www.deciphex.com/
The pathology industry is beset with increasing caseload and diagnostic complexity, against a globally declining number of pathologists to service the workload.
Digital Pathology, seen as a great potential for productivity enhancement, has not fully delivered on that promise. Some ROI studies have, at best, demonstrated marginally positive return on investment with others demonstrating negative impact on cost post implementation.
We believe that digital pathology combined with artificial intelligence will help make pathologists work more efficiently in the future, and offers a solution to the pending crisis in supply/demand in pathology services.
Deciphex plan to be at the forefront of this revolution with cleverly positioned solutions, that deliver on the biggest problems facing pathology today.
