Designed for institutions with significant subspecialty expertise, ConsultConnect addresses the two major barriers to adoption in digital pathology: budgeting and long implementation/integration times. First, ConsultConnect has no upfront implementation fees or subscription fees. Instead, there is a minimal annual commitment and simple "per-consult" pricing. Second, ConsultConnect offers a highly streamlined and simplified onboarding process, allowing institutions to get up and running with their cloud-based solution in days instead of months.
Digital pathology has long been viewed by institutions as an expense rather than an opportunity. At PathPresenter, we aim to shift that perspective by transforming digital pathology into a profit center while expanding institutions' global reach. With AWS's reliable infrastructure and PathPresenter's expertise, we empower our customers to bridge the gaps in their workflows, making digital pathology a seamless, scalable, and cost-effective solution."

ConsultConnect features all the tools required by pathologists and institution administrators to deliver remote second opinion services to referring hospitals globally. Core to the platform is a user-friendly, scanner-agnostic image viewer for pathologists to receive, view, and sign out remote second opinion cases. For administrators, the portal provides tools to easily onboard and manage referring hospitals and incoming cases. The zero-footprint platform is monitored 24/7 by industry-leading security and compliance vendor Vanta for HIPAA compliance.
ConsultConnect has been optimized to run on AWS by PathPresenter and partner CitiusTech. With healthcare-focused expertise in medical imaging, CitiusTech leveraged AWS HealthImaging services to ensure ConsultConnect delivers the very best imaging performance and data integrity, including whole slide DICOM file upload functionality. AWS HealthImaging is a purpose-built, HIPAA-eligible service for medical imaging in the cloud, giving customers the performance, scale, and low total cost of ownership needed for large pathology workloads. AWS services provide robust security measures specifically designed for handling patient data across various healthcare entities. With AWS managed services, PathPresenter is providing low-latency, petabyte-scale digital pathology in the cloud.
