We are proud to announce that Meditecs has been featured in the newly published scientific article, “Report on the 2025 DICOM WSI Connectathon”. It article on DICOM, interoperability and digital pathology was published in the Journal of Pathology Informatics.
- Check out the Report on the 2025 DICOM WSI Connectathon.
The publication highlights the growing importance of interoperability in digital pathology. It showcases how industry collaboration, open standards, and real-world validation are accelerating the adoption of scalable digital pathology ecosystems.
At the center of this transformation is a clear industry challenge. The challenge is enabling scanners, PACS/IMS platforms, viewers, LIS systems, AI tools, and cloud infrastructures from different vendors to work together seamlessly in clinical environments. The Connectathon demonstrated that achieving true interoperability requires not only standards such as DICOM and IHE. In addition, it requires practical implementation and validation across multiple vendors and workflows.
Meditecs Driving Real-World Digital Pathology Interoperability
At Meditecs, interoperability is not just a concept — it is a practical reality enabled by our DICOMPath platform.
Our technology was successfully used during the Connectathon to support interoperability workflows based on the IHE DPIA profile. It helped participants integrate and communicate across heterogeneous digital pathology environments. This initiative demonstrated how standardized, vendor-neutral architectures can simplify the integration of scanners, image management systems, LIS platforms, AI analyzers, and cloud-based infrastructures.
The Connectathon results reinforced a key industry message: the future of digital pathology depends on open, interoperable ecosystems rather than isolated proprietary solutions.
Recognizing the Contribution of the Meditecs team and leadership
We are especially proud that our Head of Development, Francisco José Carrasco Tena, contributed as one of the authors of this scientific publication.
Francisco’s work reflects Meditecs’ long-term commitment to advancing healthcare interoperability through practical innovation, standards-based architectures, and collaboration with leading international experts in digital pathology and medical imaging.
His participation in this publication reinforces Meditecs’ active role in shaping the future of interoperable digital pathology infrastructures.
Collaboration Is What Moves the Industry Forward
We would like to sincerely thank all participants, vendors, organizations, and authors involved in the Connectathon and the publication. Events like these demonstrate the power of collaboration in building open and future-proof healthcare ecosystems.
A special thanks goes to David Clunie for his leadership, vision, and continuous contribution to the advancement of DICOM standards and interoperability in digital pathology. His work has been instrumental in driving the industry toward truly connected imaging environments.
Continuing to Innovate
Digital pathology is evolving rapidly, driven by AI, cloud technologies, and enterprise imaging strategies. However, innovation can only scale when interoperability is built into the foundation.
At Meditecs, we remain committed to continuing innovation in this field — developing future-proof interoperability solutions that enable healthcare organizations, laboratories, and technology vendors to integrate seamlessly. As a result, they can scale faster and adopt AI-ready workflows with confidence.
The future of digital pathology will be connected, standardized, and collaborative — and Meditecs is proud to help build it.
If your organization is exploring how to connect scanners, AI tools, IMS/PACS, and LIS systems more efficiently, we invite you to learn more about DICOMPath.
