Spokane, Washington, July 9, 2025 – Gestalt, a leading provider of AI-powered digital pathology solutions, showcased its AI-powered pathology platform, PathFlow, at the Spring 2025 DICOM WG-26 Interoperability Connectathon, confirming its readiness for real-world clinical integration and multi-vendor environments. The Connectathon was co-sponsored by the Digital Pathology Association (DPA) and the European Society of Digital and Integrative Pathology (ESDIP). The event, hosted virtually from January to June and featured at the European Congress on Digital Pathology in Barcelona, brought together over 30 organizations to validate end-to-end workflows, in varying categories, using DICOM standards. The categories included image acquisition, storage, viewing, and AI-driven annotations. Gestalt’s platform stood out as a leader in interoperability, particularly as an Image Display (Viewer). Gestalt’s Viewer successfully displayed images from 8 of 9 different WSI Scanners, demonstrating seamless compatibility with multiple diverse systems such as 3DHISTECH, Grundium, Leica, Hamamatsu and Pramana. This robust performance ensures pathologists can access high-quality whole slide images effortlessly, regardless of the source, streamlining diagnostic workflows. Additionally, PathFlow excelled in displaying annotations from five AI Evidence Creators, including industry leaders like Visiopharm, Hologic, TechCyte and identify.bio, further demonstrating its ability to present structured data for precise diagnostic insights. As an Evidence Creator itself, (AI Annotations), Gestalt showcased its advanced AI capabilities, by analyzing and annotating images from eight scanners. These annotations were successfully transmitted to five different image management archives using standard DICOM Web protocols, highlighting Gestalt’s ability to deliver accurate, standards-compliant AI-driven outputs. This functionality empowers pathologists to integrate AI seamlessly into routine clinical operations, improving efficiency and diagnostic accuracy. “Gestalt’s performance at the Connectathon reflects our dedication to building interoperable, scalable solutions that empower pathologists globally,” said Brian Napora, VP of Innovation, Gestalt Diagnostics. “By investing in open standards, we’re helping lead digital pathology toward a more integrated and intelligent future.” The Connectathon’s rigorous testing environment validated Gestalt’s ability to handle real-world challenges, such as legacy image integration and complex multi-vendor workflows without requiring custom workarounds. Gestalt’s commitment to DICOM standards positions PathFlow as a cornerstone for vendor-neutral, future-ready pathology solutions.
