Plavno developed an AI-powered digital pathology platform that helps laboratories triage cases, prioritize suspicious slides, and support faster review workflows for pathologists.
Overview
The solution was designed for diagnostic laboratories and pathology teams handling large volumes of digitized tissue slides. It combines whole-slide image processing, suspicious-region detection, triage logic, review support, and workflow integration into one scalable digital pathology platform.
Faster prioritization of high-risk pathology cases
Reduced time spent on routine negative or low-complexity slide review
Better visibility into suspicious tissue regions before full review
Improved workload distribution across pathology teams
Stronger digital foundation for scalable pathology operations

Digital pathology adoption is growing, but many pathology teams still struggle with increasing case volume, limited specialist capacity, and time-consuming manual review of slides.
Common challenges included:
Large queues of pathology cases awaiting review
Difficulty prioritizing potentially urgent or suspicious slides
High manual effort in scanning large tissue areas
Uneven workload distribution across pathologists
Growing pressure to improve turnaround time without compromising diagnostic quality
The client needed a solution that could help teams review more efficiently while preserving clinical oversight.

The platform needed to:
Ingest and process high-resolution whole-slide images
Detect suspicious tissue regions and case-level risk signals
Support case triage and review prioritization
Fit naturally into digital pathology workflows
Maintain explainability for pathologist review
Scale across multiple labs, scanners, and pathology subdomains
There were also key constraints:
Pathology images are large and computationally demanding
Workflows differ by tissue type and diagnostic context
AI outputs had to support review, not replace the pathologist
The system needed to remain usable in routine laboratory operations

Solution
Plavno integrated whole-slide ingestion, tissue region analysis, suspicious-area detection, case prioritization logic, reviewer workspace support, lab workflow integration, and operational dashboards into one digital pathology workflow — helping labs focus attention where it matters most.

Prioritize the Queue: Cases are ranked or flagged based on triage logic and review urgency.
Support Pathologist Review: Pathologists open the case with highlighted regions and structured visual support.
Supports diagnostic labs and digital pathology teams
Suitable for high-volume histopathology environments
Helps optimize specialist review time
Works across centralized and distributed lab networks
Designed as a scalable AI layer for pathology workflow modernization
Architecture Overview
Slide Ingestion Layer: Whole-slide images and case metadata are imported into the platform.
Image Analysis Layer: AI models process tissue images and identify suspicious regions or structural anomalies.
Triage Layer: Case-level prioritization logic helps labs sort slides by review urgency.
Review Layer: Pathologists see flagged regions, overlays, and case context in a structured review workspace.
Integration Layer: The platform can connect with laboratory systems, pathology viewers, and digital case management tools.
Deployment Layer: Supports enterprise-grade digital pathology environments with scalable compute infrastructure.
