Royal Philips has announced an expansion of its partnership with Ibex Medical Analytics alongside the release of its latest Philips IntelliSite Pathology Solution (PIPS) 6.0. 

The initiative aims to accelerate the adoption of AI-driven digital pathology, address the global shortage of pathologists, and improve cancer diagnostics.

By incorporating AI, the platform enables laboratories to deliver high-quality results promptly, reducing patient anxiety and improving clinical outcomes.
