Fujifilm, Tiger Health Join Forces on Digital Pathology Storage

FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation has forged a new strategic partnership with Tiger Health Technology to optimize data lifecycle management and address key storage-related challenges in digital pathology.

This technology integration will streamline the management and accessibility of digital pathology data managed through Synapse Pathology, Fujifilm’s picture archiving and communication system (PACS) for pathology, allowing healthcare providers to efficiently handle the large volumes of information involved in pathology workflows. Further bolstering Fujifilm’s Synapse Enterprise Imaging strategy and capabilities, this partnership will enable the integration of a healthcare organization’s digital pathology content into its vendor neutral archive (VNA), addressing potential challenges with proprietary file format integrations.

“Our partnership with Tiger Health Technology will empower our customers to effectively manage large whole slide images. This can have a significant and positive impact on the cost of digital pathology file storage without degrading or delaying the clinical utility of these images,” said Dr. Mark Lloyd, vice president, pathology, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. “Together, we are committed to providing rapid access to pathology information so patients can receive a rapid and accurate diagnosis.”

Fujifilm and Tiger Health Technology also plan to collaborate to develop new solutions aimed at facilitating the wider adoption of digital pathology across healthcare systems. These solutions are intended to help resolve challenges related to efficiently storing and retrieving medical data, while also improving overall data availability for more accurate, efficient, and scalable options for diagnosis and treatment planning.

“Digital health platforms offer promising solutions to key challenges in healthcare systems worldwide, particularly regarding costs, productivity, and accessibility,” Tiger Health Technology CEO Nikola Apostolov stated. “We share Fujifilm’s vision, and our partnership is a natural fit. Collaboration is the key to building sustainable healthcare platforms.”
