Transcript for "What's New in Concentriq AP: Intelligent Digital Pathology for Modern Laboratories": One, and welcome to today's webinar on what's new in Concentric AP. Thank you so much for being here. I'm Ashley Faber, director of product marketing at Prosha, and it is my pleasure to welcome you to moderate today's webinar. We have a great presentation and discussion for you today, and we're gonna go get started very quickly. But first of all, I'd like to introduce our speakers. So in addition to myself, we have an expert product team here for you today. Amanda Coble is Croce's senior director of product. Hello, Amanda. And we also have Sarah Iselt, who is one of our all star application specialists here at Prosha. Thank you for being here, Sarah. And we have Jenny Caldera, who manages our partner ecosystem here at Prosha. So thank you, Jenny. And let's just jump into an overview of what we'll cover today. So first, I'll walk through some context on where we are with digital pathology and AI for AP Labs in 2025. And Amanda will provide an overview on how this has resulted in Crochet's focus for AP Labs this year. Then Amanda will describe what's new in Concentric AP, how these additions and improvements add value to your lab. And Sarah will provide a live demonstration going through all of this new functionality. And then we'll pass it over to Jenny who will give an overview of our precision medicine AI portfolio and dive a little deeper into an example use case. Finally, we'll open the floor to questions. So please enter your questions in the q and a box throughout the presentation. Don't be shy, and we will try to get to all of them at the end. Alright. So let's just jump in. For those of you who are not familiar with ProShip Solutions, just wanna give you a little background here so and share how we accelerate precision medicine across the entire, drug discovery and development continuum. So our flagship Concentric platform serves as the central hub powering pathology workflows, unifying people, data, and applications. And on the Concentric platform are purposeful products that together support pathology really everywhere is practiced from discovery to diagnostics, from biopharmas and CROs to hospitals and commercial labs. Concentric is an open platform, and our goal is really to empower pathologists and scientists to harness the full potential of digital pathology and AI with really unparalleled efficiency and impact. So today, we'll focus on our solutions for anatomic pathology labs and specifically on our concentric AP products. So before we jump into those solutions, I want to spend a few minutes providing context on why why we think these solutions are so important and really what they're aiming to do. So we believe there is a dual value proposition that digital pathology brings to AP labs in 2025. Not only is digital pathology driving operational efficiency more than ever with the power of AI, it's also enabling an advancement in precision medicine as pathology data drives the discovery and development of new life saving therapies. And in turn, those therapies are delivered to patients through treatment strategies that increasingly rely on digital pathology and AI to deliver. And we really see these two value propositions as interconnected. So while the precision medicine capabilities create new opportunities, we must ensure those don't come at the cost of pathologist satisfaction and efficiency. And as we move through the presentation, we'll explore how Crochet solutions really support both sides of this equation, helping AP labs not only operate more efficiently today, but also position themselves for the future of pathology practice. And so let's just jump into talking about the operational challenges. I think these are all very well known. There's a decrease in the pathology workforce on a trend that's not likely to reverse anytime soon. At the same time, there's an increase in workload pressures. This isn't just more cases. It's more complex cases requiring additional testing and interpretation time. And pathologists are expected to integrate more and more data points per case than ever before. And we believe digital pathology really directly addresses many of these challenges with AI driven workflow gains, network effects that enable collaboration and access to expertise, as well as talent attraction benefits in remote work and increasing preference for digital capabilities. And we've actually quantified this real world impact on Concentric AP with Quest Diagnostics and IBEX where we documented a 58% efficiency gain representing a 2.4 x productivity increase. So this isn't just theoretical. It is measured performance gains in actual settings. And to that end, I wanted to highlight another piece of very recently published research in March that demonstrated the tangible business impact of digital pathology. So this was a comprehensive study that examined eight leading European labs over several years and demonstrated that these labs were able to take on increased exam volumes without adding staff to the organization, which was all possible due to workflow efficiency gains driven by digital pathology. They were also able to demonstrate an increase in consultation volumes. And as you can see, these productivity gains resulted in a real financial impact. And not only that, the labs were able to strengthen their multidisciplinary collaboration, particularly for tumor boards and complex cases. They also reported that remote accessibility became a significant advantage in recruiting and retaining pathologists in a competitive market. And perhaps most importantly, on the right side here, after a brief adjustment period of three months or less, sometimes in only a few weeks, pathologists overwhelmingly prefer digital pathology to traditional microscopy. And this chart shows strong positive ratings across multiple metrics. So this is really the experience that we're aiming to deliver with, our concentric AP products and the new functionality we'll describe later. And, you know, on the other side of the the impact equation, digital pathology is no longer just about efficiency. It's becoming increasingly important to deliver precision medicine. As treatment strategies become increasingly targeted and personalized, the ability to analyze tissue at a more quantitative level, identify specific biomarkers, match patients to the right treatments becomes essential. And what's particularly compelling is how leaders across the pharmaceutical and diagnostic landscape are really embracing this vision as you can see in the quotes here. So for pathology labs considering their digital strategy, this industry momentum creates both opportunity and urgency. You know, the technology isn't just improving workflow efficiency. It's becoming essential infrastructure for participating in the next generation of precision medicine and clinical trials. So, with all of that, I'll pass it on to Amanda who can talk about how Prosha is addressing these pressing needs and opportunities for AP Labs this year. Thanks, Ashley. So as Ashley went over, we're seeing a continued and accelerated adoption of digital pathology, and we are really focused on helping labs not only make that transition to digital, but realize a meaningful return on investment. And so a couple of the key focus areas for us in 2025. First off, and this has always been a focus for us, is Concentrix is built for and by pathologists. We work, directly with pathologists to get feedback. We wanna ensure an intuitive user experience that only facilitates a digital review, but also drives efficiency by capitalizing on functions and features that are really only available on a digital workflow. So this includes, AI that seamlessly integrates into the routine workflows, making sure that we're getting feedback, from our pathologists. We also are on a quarterly release cycle, and so we're able to provide frequent updates and enhancements and also more quickly incorporate feedback that we're seeing, and that also includes industry trends as well. We'll talk a little bit more about that later. Again, we're we're also built for scale. We wanna be able to scale with labs so that they can become fully digital. That includes enterprise image management, obviously, having collaboration tools across larger, enterprise systems. It also means having an open platform that allows you to integrate new technology like AI and utilize industry standards like DICOM. And this ensures you stay with the industry trends and also at the edge of innovation. And then finally, Ashley really talked to this a lot, so I won't spend a ton of time here. We wanna enable, precision medicine. So APPROACH has a network of customers across the lab energy, industry, and we wanna accelerate the life sciences research and development and things like AI and precision medicine tools and applications, those being developed, but then also making it really easy to, deploy and adopt those into regular workflows. And this opens up also some unique and, new revenue streams for laboratories as well. So now we're gonna jump into, what's actually some of the product updates we've made, recently. So I'll review, really the latest version of Concentric AP. We'll talk about some AI updates, enhanced collaboration workflows, some updates to improve usability, and then, again, you'll see it being interoperability. A lot of what you're gonna see is, again, around helping labs not only go digital, but be really more efficient and see a benefit from that digital transition. So first up, we've added a new AI powered auto alignment tool for serial sections. So with one click, you can align serial sections for review. So this could be looking at different levels of h and e serial sections. It could also mean comparing an h and e slide to a, IC or special stain slide. You know, look at the same areas of tissues across those two different staining methodologies. And as you can see in the screenshot here, it even includes being able to compare two different AI tools. So I may wanna look at, a tumor detection app and see where tumor is, maybe on a h and e stain, and then be able to look at what is the IEC staining, in that same area on a serial section slide. Again, this would typically be tedious to sit and try to, you know, manually rotate, pan, zoom in to get those aligned to be able to look at the same tissue now with a single click. It's really efficient. And then another related new feature is our image flip. So at times during slide preparation, it's possible that the tissue actually gets flipped as they're creating the the slide. And when that happens and you're trying to compare those side by side with the serial section, it can be really difficult because essentially the tissue is reversed. So now we have a a quick tool that will, do the flip, and then you can quickly align and can do that comparison. You don't have to go get a a slide recut or really struggle with the with the reverse tissue. So, again, adding, efficiency, you know, reducing the manual input that you need to to utilize. And then in you've done quite a few improvements around collaboration workflow. So we've added support for sec multiple secondary reviewers. So this is obviously helpful for consultation workflows. If I wanna have colleagues, review some cases, give me some feedback, I can add multiple colleagues and they can, provide that feedback. But it also is useful in some other use cases, like, maybe I'm doing some unique or new novel IEC stains or things that, only a handful of my pathologists have proficiency, to sign out. I can add those as reviewers, and they can, read those, special IECs. And I still, maintain control as the primary owner of that case, but they can do those sort of it's still consultation type workflow. And then, obviously, in academic, centers or in, education with resident workflows, it's really useful to be able to add residents or fellows to review, and then they, the attending remains the primary owner of the case, but that way you can sort of manage those workflows. And we've always had a really robust, advanced filter feature. So you can filter out your case work list. We've added a new feature for that, that allows you to save those advanced filters. So that's obviously really nice for collaboration workflows because now I can create, you know, basically a consult workflow. It could even be specific to a certain, specimen category or specialty, useful in tumor board workflows, or, other education. Again again, if I'm doing a resident workflow, I can have those, work lists. So really helpful for collaboration. But in addition, even just as a user, it's nice to be able to set up my work list and have, you know, custom basically work list that are user specific to me to help me review. So maybe I wanna have, I wanna look at my breast cases first thing in the morning because I wanna you know, if I need to go order biomarkers, I wanna do that as early as possible so those special stains come back, and hopefully, I can sign that case out the same day. So, again, tools to help with collaboration, but also to do it more efficiently. Number of usability enhancements. Again, a lot of these are around easing the transition from, analog glass slide review to digital review and workflows. So first up, ergonomic panning. So there is is a bit of a transition to go from reviewing a glass slide under scope. The way you manipulate the slide on the stage, that's a muscle memory that pathologists have really built up over years and years. Moving to a mouse or a trackpad is different. Holding the mouse, the way you, pan an image, we're finding that it was some ergonomic challenges there. People are getting hand cramps and things like that. So we introduced this ergonomic feature to try to, as much as possible, recreate the same muscle memory around, panning a glass slide. So I don't have to click and hold, and drag like typically you would do. I can do smaller movements using the slide navigator and just makes it an easier transition and much easier and more efficient to pan and review digitally. The next item, again, similar. Everybody has a different workstation setup. I might if I'm left handed or right handed, I might have my mouse or keyboard on different sides. It's really helpful to be able to set up my keyboard shortcuts just the way I want it. So maybe I want certain, keyboard shortcuts and functions to be on the left side of the keyboard versus the right or vice versa. Everybody's slightly different, and we've now enabled our we have quite a bit list of keyboard shortcuts, but now we've enabled you to reconfigure them as a user to assign which keys should, you know, be utilized for those functions. So, again, I can customize how I my workflow, it can work with my workstation, how I have, things set up at my desk. Again, efficiency, ergonomics. We have a couple of updates around annotations. One is being able to do what we call free free form ruler annotation. So often core biopsies are not perfectly straight. They have some curve to them, and you need to do a measurement. And trying to do that with a straight line is a little bit tedious. You're having to click multiple times. You might have to add multiple, linear measurements together. So we've introduced the tool, and Sarah will demonstrate this for you. That lets you do a completely curvy linear, measurement of, within the viewer. And then along those same lines, making sure you have visibility to when there are annotations, this actually goes back and speaks to some of the collaboration workflow. I can easily and quickly see which slides have annotations present across the slide tray. So, maybe I'm in a tumor board workflow, and I wanna be able to quickly go through and show, what are the key areas in, a tumor board presentation or even for consultations. If I get asked to consult a case, there's a very good chance that the annotations might, you know, be the first place to start as I start to review and add feedback. And then finally, we have a pretty robust snapshot tool that allows the user to set a number of different user specific preferences. And one of the most important is providing the level of resolution. So what DPI, like 300, six hundred, will add you? The that allows the user to basically say, this is what resolution if I don't need a high resolution photo, I can pick pick something lower. It's gonna be a smaller file. Right? But if I want something for a publication, maybe I wanna put it on a report, a pathology report. We have a tool now to do that, really efficiently. And you can save that directly to the case, and that can go over to the LIS and, you know, automatically populate a report. Or if you're gonna use it for a publication or a conference presentation, let's say, you can save that directly to your, local storage and then have that available for those presentations or publications. And then finally, in Prosha, we really think of ourself as an open platform, so we strive hard to make sure we can support, all the different scanners that are, most frequently used by anatomic pathology labs. We added, four new, scanner formats. We added DICOM format for Permana, Leica, and three d HisTech. And we also added support for the Grundium, the, AKA's, tabletop scanner often used for frozen sections, the SVS format for that scanner. And for DICOM specifically, we do see this as the future. We want to see a standardization, and we really wanna make sure we're future proofing so that you're not gonna have to worry about, you know, maybe in ten years, is this proprietary format? Is it still available? Is the scanner manufacturer still supporting it, etcetera? So we're really involved in, moving the industry towards a DICOM. We're currently participating in the digital pathology associations, DICOM Connectathon, And we really wanna make sure we're driving the right, workflows, the right specs, for DICOM in pathology and not necessarily just assuming that the radiology implementation would work for pathology. And then finally, we are a global company, and we continue to expand our footprint across the globe. And so as we do that, we add support for additional, local languages. So recently, we've added Czech and Slovak languages. So, I've done a lot of talking about the features, and now I'm gonna hand it over to Sarah so you can absolutely get to see them, for yourself. Awesome. Thank you, Amanda, for the fantastic introduction as always. So we'll get into the really exciting part of the webinar here where you get to see all of these improvements in action. So everyone can see the work list over here on the screen. We are currently looking at the Concentric AP primary work list for primary diagnosis sign out. Now, when we think about the efficiency gains that come from having your pathology workflow digital, it really does start in the histology lab. It can't just be a process that focuses only on the pathologist, although they are important, it has to focus on the entire process from the time those samples arrive into the lab. So I'm sure most of us lab folks know that, you know, unexpected things can happen. For example, you know, we might need to pull an important case, but all we have is a slide ID on a sticky note or a scanner might be malfunctioning. That tends to happen with lab equipment sometimes. So we've thought about these things and we've made sure that Concentric has the capacity to support everyday occurrences like that. So Amanda mentioned in the image management tab, you'll be able to access images strictly on their case or their slide ID. So for example, that first thing I mentioned, I might only have a slide ID on a sticky note. If I wanted to just go ahead and search this because I needed to pull the whole case, I could search by the slide ID only. And then if I wanted to access not only that slide, but I wanted to access the entire case, I can easily pull that up strictly from the image management tab. So really, really easy to deal with those kinds of workflows in the lab, as well as being able to troubleshoot things like a scanner ID. For example, if you see here in this tab, we have a scanner serial number. So maybe, you know, you've got some, some images that aren't quite working as expected. You can always troubleshoot quality issues that might be occurring that way. So next, what I will pop into is a lot of those usability work list features that Amanda was mentioning. So, excuse me, the days where a hysterect is responsible for collating and assigning and delivering hundreds of cases on slide flats to pathologists are over. Concentric automates that all for you, but we also haven't forgotten about the pathologist. That's obviously a central part of case review. So we support the lab while we can incorporate important workflow support like those saved work lists and secondary consult features. So if you look here in the work list, you'll see that there's a secondary assignee tab. If I wanted to pull up my consults for the day, I could easily search based on secondary assignee and I could say I want to pull up all of my cases that are my secondary cases to review for the day. I can then save that filter to say secondary consult workflow. And now when I come into Concentric, I can easily go ahead and click on this work list that's going to refresh in real time. So I don't have to save that every single time I come into Concentric. Tomorrow when I log in, I can easily see all of those secondary consults that have been, assigned to me. Additionally, we can support workflows like multidisciplinary tumor boards. So if I wanted to set a multi parameter filter filter to pick up all of my tumor board cases, but I am a breast pathologist, so I really don't care about any other specimen type. So I might go ahead and set my filters to tumor board breast, apply, and now I have that work list that is modified for me. If I wanted to go ahead and save that work list, we could go ahead and do that as well. So I can go ahead and put tumor board right here, and then we can go specimen category breast. And now I can save this filter as tumor board breast. And then once I submit, this is now populated over here as well. So really easy for me to review the cases that might be important for me for that day. And now what we'll do is we will actually pop into a case here to talk about some of those viewer features that are really going to streamline the review of your cases. So So once we enter to the case here, Amanda mentioned that annotation indicator and we were also just speaking about tumor board workflow. So sometimes these cases have hundreds of slides because it's a really large, piece of tissue that was processed. So if you only need to access one or two slides that might be important for the tumor board, you'll have an annotation indicator that'll tell you which one is important to you. This will also carry over into the viewer as well. So lots of really, really good functionality there, but we'll go ahead and we'll enter into this H and E slide here. It does have an AI result. We'll go ahead and we'll, enter full screen mode. So here's that annotation I was chatting about. If I open up the slide tray, that annotation indicator persists in the slide tray as well. So however you'd like to access those slides, you can, do from multiple different points in the Concentric application. Now, if we zoom in and we wanted to talk about really replicating the microscope experience that a pathologist has when they are paying a slide, I can turn on ergonomic panning and now you'll see that as I'm hovering over the tissue section here, it really looks similar to what it would look like on a microscope and I'm not clicking, I'm not dragging. I just used a keyboard shortcut to go ahead and activate that mode for me and now I am navigating the slide that way. When I'm done, I can go ahead and turn it off And now that slide is no longer in ergonomic panning mode. So really, really easy to be able to, get you familiar with the application and make you feel comfortable as the pathologist. So this is a breast case that has multiple different AI results here. We have an ibex algorithm run on the H and E slide. Jenny will talk more about this later. And we also have some VisioPharm scoring results as well. So these two slides are serial sections. I can go ahead and open them here. It's going to open both of my slides side by side together. So you'll see here that these are obviously serial sections, but they're not quite aligned. We do have automatic serial section alignment, so you don't need to worry about manually flipping your images like Amanda was mentioning. So I can go ahead and click align images here and then as I zoom and pan my image, I am looking at the same area of the slide. You'll see this landmark here is carried over both on the left hand side and the right hand side. We are looking at a HER2 slide and a CHI 67 slide side by side. So if we wanted to, look at things like AI results side by side, we could, you'll see that here it goes, it's populating now, we have the CHI 67 proliferation index results on the left and the HER2 results on the right here. So really easy to visualize multi AI workflows and get those efficiency gains that Ashley talked about at the beginning of this call. Since these images are aligned, I can also do an image flip. So you'll see that this landmark has now shifted over to the left on both slides. Really easy to be able to do that and visualize those results. Next, what we'll chat about really briefly is that free form annotation workflow. So we're going to go ahead and we're going to pop into a prostate core case here. And then once we enter into the case, I can go ahead and pick my slide. Maybe this one has some annotations on it, which in this case it does. And then we will be able to use the freeform annotation rule or to measure a nonlinear course. So you can see this isn't exactly perfect. It's not super linear. I can go ahead and use a keyboard shortcut to do that and you'll see that my ruler is not a straight line. And then you'll get a measurement that comes from that as well. So really simplifies workflows for things that you're going to encounter every day in your case assignment workflow. Additionally, in, additionally, outside of the annotations, we have a high resolution snapshot feature that's going to allow you to take pictures of the areas of slides that might be important for you. Amanda mentioned publications, or this might be an appendices to a report, or it might be something that you decide that you want to take to a tumor board meeting. So I can go ahead and drag around the area that I want to take a snapshot of. And then in my settings menu, I have a lot of customizability in terms of what I want to include here. So I can choose to include annotations. So for example, that freeform ruler or maybe it's a pin, maybe it's tumor margin measurement. If I don't want them, I can uncheck the box and they will not be included in the snapshot. I can choose to include things like scale bars or slide IDs and I can specify a file name as well. I can change my export format and image resolution and dimensions. So again, really can get publication quality images, if that is important to you. So we'll go ahead and we'll exit out of snapshot here. And then, the last thing we'll chat about is not allowing you to get carpal tunnel, which is going to be those customizable keyboard shortcuts. So we do have a set of hard coded, customizable shortcuts that are going to come with the platform and that's what we're looking at right now. But you will have the option to customize those. So if your workflow is set up so that you only want to use keyboard shortcuts on the left hand side of your keyboard, You could change some of these zooms to be lower numbers or similar to a gaming keyboard, for example, ASDF, really unlimited amount of flexibility there in terms of how you'd like to classify and customize those keyboard shortcuts. You'll always be able to revert back to the original hard coded shortcuts and you'll be able to save your new ones. So having said that, I also talked quite a bit about these new features of Concentra here. So I am going to stop sharing, and I am going to hand it back over to Jenny, if I can just go ahead and, get this right here. So here we go. And then, Jenny, I'll pass it off to you. Fantastic. Thank you, Sarah. So I'm going to give a little bit of a deeper dive into the precision medicine AI portfolio that Prosha offers. So give a bit of a summary about the breadth and depth, but also an example of how you can utilize Concentric AP to put your AI application of interest together for your own personalized use cases. I think recently a lot of us in the pathology space have heard some of our colleagues in the lab noting how they want to adopt technology that's really future proof. Right? The labs wanna ensure that the technology that they're choosing to adopt today isn't going to inhibit them from being able to onboard any new solutions that might arise in the future. And this is really why Prosha has partnered, with a lot of best of breed AI solution providers, and and this is across a spectrum of applications. So there are over 100 applications, and that spans over 30 unique tissue types. And to accomplish this, we've created our Prosha Ready Partner Alliance. This is really intended to surround labs with a community of well established industry solutions and providers that'll focus on really delivering that interoperability. And with our Prosha Ready AI partners, we've put a focus on implementing these solutions with really efficient workflows. We want the pathologists to be able to harness the power of AI directly in concentric AP. And so this standardized approach allows the labs to have the freedom to choose which applications they wish to adopt and really to safeguard their investment by having the option to adopt any new AI offerings that might become available in the future. We also understand that each lab's use case and need for AI might vary, So we've selected solutions for our portfolio that might be impactful at various stages of a sample's journey. So those are some of the, areas that we've highlighted here, including review aids across h and e applications, different common biomarker quantification applications, and even some prognostic applications for outcome prediction and risk stratification. Oh, so I wanted to give a little bit of a a direct example of how labs are working in Concentric AP and utilizing some of these various types of AI applications across an entire case. So Sarah shared this case overview feature in Concentric, and it it highlights how in a typical workflow, a pathologist will be assessing samples that span different stains. And with our precision medicine AI portfolio, we're able to also provide AI solutions that support these varying stains, endpoints, and just overall different use cases. So what we're seeing here on the screen is a breast cancer case, and this includes h and e stain slides as well as, your breast marker slides. So ER, PR, HER2, and KI sixty seven IHC staining. And what I wanna walk you do walk you through is three unique AI solutions that could be seamlessly utilized directly in Concentric AP to meet some of these various needs straight across the case. So here is the view that would be available to the pathologist. Just as Sarah showed when they enter each of the slides within the case. On the left here, our first step and our first AI application utilized is Ibex's breast solution. So this will provide the pathologists with heat maps to highlight areas of interest where they can review on the slide. So these would be features such as invasive cancer or DCIS as well as any affiliated grading that might go along with that. The second step would be to utilize the breast biomarker slides. And again, the pathologist has these whole slide analysis markups available. This is an example of VisioPharm's HER2 solution. So this is highlighting invasive tumor regions, and assessing the cells within that for HER2 expression and scoring them. And this can be done across all of the IHC biomarkers, so your ER, PR, and Ki sixty seven as well with their affiliated endpoints. And as a final step on the right here, we might wanna return to that HNE slide just to learn additional new information at the time of diagnosis, We're doing that using Stratipath's breast solution. This solution really analyzes the cancer tissue, and it enables the identification of patients with either an increased or a low risk of disease progression. So so another tool that can be helpful for the treatment team. But by combining these multiple AI solutions, labs can really begin to harness the full potential of AI and empower the pathologists and the treatment teams. But this is just one example of new and varying AI technologies that could be implemented in the pathologies labs, concentric AP workflow. But by offering this precision medicine and AI portfolio, it means that the AI applications that may be developed in the future will be available to our concentric AP community, and the lab can really stay confident that they're truly future proof. And I believe with that, Ashley, I am going to pass it back to you for some q and a. Yes. Thank you so much, Jenny, and thank you everyone for a great presentation and discussion. So now we'll open it up to questions from our audience. So as I mentioned before, please put your questions in the q and a box, and we will get to as many as we can, in the time remaining that we have. So let me take a few a few how we're, entered throughout so far. So let me grab some of these. Just give me a second here. K. Amanda, I think this is a good question for you. How often are updates made to Concentric AP, and how are these communicated to customers? And maybe I can take the second half of that question. Yeah. As I mentioned, we're we really look at doing quarterly releases. That's our target. We've been doing that for at least a year now. We think that's a good cadence to make sure we're constantly delivering new value, and we can incorporate, you know, feedback from our customers, from the industry pretty quickly. You're not waiting, you know, months to years to to get, you know, new new things and get response to your feedback. And then if you wanna take how we sort of communicate those updates Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. Thank you. And, yeah, it's actually we this is a timely question because we have been working on improving this process and have actually been discussing this quite a bit internally and listening to a lot of feedback from our customers on how we are communicating these updates. So we are looking to improve these these, communication channels, to use multiple channels, ensure customers are always informed of the latest and greatest. So today, release notes are published in our help center as soon as the release is generally available. I encourage everybody actually to go to the helpcentersupport.prosha.com and and check those out if you haven't already for the latest functionality. All the the things we talked about today are there. So none of that will change, but we are working to ensure that our customer contacts are receiving emails and notifications with a link to these release notes as well as adding more, you know, detailed information about the value of this new functionality. We realized that release notes kind of, you know, on purpose, they can be a little technical in nature because they are very much, like, we wanna be very clear and describe the functionality exactly how it works in the release notes. It doesn't necessarily give you as much context to, like, alright. Well, what is the value to to implementing this new version, to getting all these new features? How does that really impact my lab and my team? So we're working on giving you some more detailed information about this value. Actually, you know, very similar to what we went through in this webinar today and even giving you more, like, visual details that really bring the functionality to life so that you can see, you know, everything that you're really, being able to take advantage of when you go through an upgrade to a new version that includes a new release. So, and we're we're looking to do more webinars like this one where we're able to explain and demonstrate capabilities live, in a real environment. So we do welcome you know, we're interested to see how everybody, you know, takes advantage of these resources as we start to roll them out. We'd love your feedback, on this on these as we roll out these changes. We always love to hear what is your preferred method to learn about new functionality, what types of resources are you looking to see, for you and your team. So we know that, you know, different labs have different unique needs, so we'd love to hear from you. So feel free to reach out to support@prosha.com with your thoughts there or just chat with your Prosha representative because we definitely get, all of that feedback, which is why we have made a lot of these changes going forward. So, actually, I'll also add from a product perspective. We've been investing more in our knowledge based, center, part of the help center. So, of course, we have our user guide, and our our user guide is great. We answer a lot of questions in that, but sometimes that can be a little bit overwhelming trying to go into the user guide. We we've broken that out into sort of, like, functionality pieces that can easily be searched and gone through in a much more digestible way as part of our, our support center. So, also, that's a great, you know, resource available to customers to to see, you know, what's out there and then even more. So how to use it, make sure they're, you know, fully understanding, the feature and how to use it. Awesome. Thank you, Amanda. So it looks like we have some questions about Jenny, some of the content you talked about in terms of when we talk about a partner being, like, Prussia ready, what is the criteria, you know, you on the partner team use to really use that designation, and how is how does that differ from, other partners maybe? Oh, that's a great question. I would say there are a few aspects to this. Absolutely, number one is that Proshare Ready Partners and Proshare share a really strong joint vision, right, around the future of pathology, around the future of AI, and how we want these solutions to walk hand in hand together. I think that's absolutely number one. There's also aspects around how we want to enable customer experience. So things like having aligned support around the technology so that we can make sure that you are fully supported in your concentric workflows, including these brochure ready solutions that are implemented. And I think most of all, we're really looking for solutions that are best of breed and that our customers are telling us that they want as a continued part of their investment in Concentric AP. Great. Thank you, Jenny. That's awesome. Okay. We have a bit of a we have a, you know, like a technical question about some of the new functionality we went over. So maybe, Sarah, I'll give this one to you since you demonstrated it so nicely. Do all users have access to the saved work list that you showed? Yes. So those saved work list will be individual to each user that logs into Concentric. So it doesn't matter if the user is a histotech or a pathologist or a lab admin. They'll be able to customize those work lists to support whatever workflow is relevant for their role. Great. Fantastic. Alright. So couple people are, I guess, thinking ahead to going ahead and using these new features, which I love, or maybe just from seeing the demo, have some thoughts. If we if a customer has feedback on the new features, maybe, Amanda, this would be good for you to address. How do they kind of, like, what's the best way for them to send that into us? And, you know, are we are we looking at this feedback in terms of future iterations of of the functionality that we put out? Alright. So you and I mentioned our help center support center. They can log in to that, and there's a there's a dedicated process for, basically, what we call enhancement requests or feature requests. They can put those in. We as a product person, I'm gonna do my plug. We'd love for you to explain what your use case is. We love the why. Often we get, requests for I'd like a button for this. And I'm like, well, cool. What would that button why do you need that button? Like, what how is that button gonna fit into the workflow? And we really like to know that because we wanna make sure we're solving the the problem or pain point or the need that you have in the best appropriate way. And also it helps make sure that the way we solve this issue for you is more generalizable for, other customers. So we're absolutely looking at this feedback. I can't tell you how many times I've been working on with the team to come up with a feature, and we'll get some additional feedback on, like, oh, we need to tweak this a little bit because now we have we understand a little a different flow maybe one lab has is different than other, and there's a way we can accommodate that. And still, like, everybody can use the feature. So we'd love to get that feedback. And so go to our portal, our support portal, and put those, requests in. Those get handed over to the product team. I have a list. I refer to it often as we're building new things. We if you're willing, there'll be a question around, can we reach out to you? We'd love to be able to follow-up. Often, the product team will reach out directly to whoever put the request in because we have questions. Like, you might just say I want that button. What do you want that button for? Explain to me. What's the workflow? Because we wanna make sure we're building the best and the right solution and not just maybe, you know, throwing something over the fence and you guys are like, hey. This is I think you can do this quickly and easily, but maybe it doesn't solve your problem, as fully as it could. So we really wanna have those deep conversations around what what's the actual, you know, pain point or problem we're trying to solve. Great. Thank you so much. Alright. So we do have another product question for you, Amanda, in terms of DIPOM. So is there additional DIPOM compatibility on the road map for this year? Will this remain a focus beyond, you know, the the functionality that you talked about today? Yes. As I mentioned, we really do think DICOM is the future. We you know, right now, there is a lot of proprietary formats, and that can mean some challenges. You know, we work really hard to try to make sure we're able to support all the proprietary formats that are most popular and most utilized. However, I mean, just from a a customer standpoint, having to try to worry about the interoperability across all your systems, having some kind of standardized format, which, you know, DICOM is what we're we're looking at for that, is really valuable. Again, future proofing. You don't have to worry about ten years from now. You know, as I'm trying to save images for future research and data purposes, will it be able to be opened in a viewer that has been discontinued or something? You know? Right? So, we're we're involved in the working group twenty six, which is, the DICOM working group for pathology. Again, we're participating in the Connectathon, this year. I believe June at the European Congress will be a part of that. So, again, we really are driving towards making sure the DICOM workflows and how they're being integrated into pathology are the right workflows. And we wanna be you know, have a seat at the table, and we're certainly wanting to drive that to make sure it's the right thing for, the industry. Great. Thank you. Now let's see. So a few people have asked, maybe they're already going in their concentric environment on the side and wondering where can I see this new stuff because I wanna use it? When is the functionality being enabled, or or how can people get this new functionality? Amanda, sorry for all the questions. I think back to you on that one as well. Not a problem. So everything we showed today is generally available and is available on our most recent, release of Concentric AP, version four dot eight. That was just recently GA'd. You're likely if you're a customer, someone is from our, support team is probably reaching out to ask you about upgrade or you're maybe already asking us about an upgrade. So, be on the lookout for that. But everything you've seen today is currently available, for customers, and we didn't show anything future today. Great. Great. Yeah. And if, yeah, talk to, you know, the person responsible in your lab for really connecting with Prussia on these upgrades if it is not you yourself as, you might be able to provide some insight on when that's coming for your lab specifically. And also import ticket. You can put in a, you know, put in go to our portal and put in a ticket and say, hey. I wanna upgrade the four dot eight or I wanna make more of it. Again, that's a great way to Yeah. Wanna make sure that you're you're, you know, gonna get that the latest release. Mhmm. Yeah. I love that. Also, do expect some of those more if you know, like Amanda said, you might already be in touch with our support team on this or our support team might be reaching out to you in the next few days. We are planning to send some more, communications even outside of that on this. This is really our big announcement of, the new version that's available. So just look out for more materials in the next, you know, coming days and week, and, we'd love to also get your feedback on all of that. So look out for more information, but it is generally available today and, you know, ready for upgrade whenever you are. Alright. Well, I think we should probably move along here just for conscious of time. So thank you everyone for your thoughtful questions. If we did not get your question, I think we did get to most of them, but we will send you an answer over email. Sometimes it's also just more specific to your organization that it makes sense to connect, offline, but we will definitely do that. So, don't worry. Your question will be answered if it wasn't able to be answered here and now. So just to wrap up, I hope you enjoyed this presentation. We will be sending a recording to your inbox, as well as the inbox of anyone who registered for this session. I really, really encourage you if you did enjoy it. Tell anyone who you think might be interested in this content, about the session. They can sign up to view it on demand using the same link where you registered to view. We'll also put that back in, you know, the email that we send after this presentation. So really encourage you to pass it on. Maybe there's other people in your lab who weren't able to attend, or who did not see that this was happening. It's never too late for them to take a look at at this. So, yeah, please forward it on even as you you know, if you approach a customer as you start to upgrade. This is a great resource also to go back and and go through the demo Sarah showed and and some of the the overview Amanda provided If you also just want to, go back and listen in before you upgrade, that's a great use of this as well. So encourage you to do that. I also recommend I know we've said it a few times now, but heading to our help center, supportsupport.prosha.com for a full list of what's new in Prosha as well as detailed documentation on the functionality we went through today. I know you guys probably do have some questions, especially it's one thing to see the functionality in a demo. But when you're actually going in and using it live, I'm sure a lot more questions might come up. So that's a great resource for you. Really encourage you to check that out. Don't expect you to really, you know, need it all that much, but it's there for you if you encounter any questions as you're using the new functionality. And, yeah, once again, we welcome your feedback and your feature request. So please reach out to us at support@prosha.com and, you know, also through our help center to give those feature requests, include why they're important to you as Amanda suggested. But, yeah, we love to we love to hear it. I mean, I would say probably 95% of the functionality we went through today was, if not a hundred, was based on requests. Contact. Maybe a hundred Amanda. I don't know. Yeah. The usability stuff, a lot of that, we had even done some some early, like, alpha testing with some pathologists, like, on ergonomic panning. So yeah. Outright. The reiterate, we definitely are are listening and and and, you know, working with you as we develop new things. Yeah. Awesome. So it's definitely worthwhile. I know sometimes it might feel like an extra thing to submit, but, we really appreciate it, and we definitely look at every single request. So thank you again. Have a great day, and, thank you to my fellow presenters as well. Bye.
