Crosscope & BALCO Join Hands To Focus On Effective Cancer Diagnosis Via AI Enabled Platform

Crosscope Inc, a Silicon Valley-based leader of AI-enabled Digital Pathology Software, and BALCO Medical Centre, flagship unit of Vedanta Medical Research Foundation (VMRF), are joining hands for the digital transformation of their pathology department. This collaboration will focus on using an AI-enabled Digital Pathology Platform from Crosscope, thereby, transforming analog histopathology workflow to AI-enabled digital workflow for the hospital.

Given the exponential rise of healthcare data volumes, healthcare providers are looking towards technology solutions that provide a complete 360-degree patient-centric view for the oncology care continuum. The past couple of years through the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the operational limits for patient care and collaborations between healthcare organizations and technology solutions have become more important than ever. Hospitals and healthcare providers are quickly revamping & leveraging new technologies like the one offered by Crosscope to expedite their digital transformation plans.With new cancer cases projected to rise by 70% within the next couple of decades, Crosscope is building a suite of technology solutions to usher innovation through cancer data-driven healthcare for accelerated and accurate cancer diagnosis for better patient outcomes. Crosscope, known for its expertise in deep learning-based computational pathology algorithms, will implement its AI enabled Digital Pathology platform Crosscope Dx, which provides a unified solution for the needs at BALCO Medical Centre.

“Effective deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the need of the hour in the healthcare sector. We anticipate digitization of pathology will result in improved workflow and most importantly, result in rapid and accurate diagnosis. These technological developments will enable faster, efficient, and affordable cancer care solutions for all”, said Chairperson of BALCO Medical Centre, Mrs. Jyoti Agarwal.

This partnership will lead to the deployment of Crosscope’s Digital Pathology platform to provide AI-based diagnostics support ensuring precision-based, time-bound cancer diagnosis, support collaboration, pathology workflows, and archiving of pathology images. “Indian healthcare is on the cusp of digital transformation and we, at Crosscope, are enabling healthcare providers with AI-assisted remote workflows for a pathology revolution.
