March 3, 2020—Singularity.ai, a new company delivering integrated workflow solutions for physicians, released its first product, the EmPath Smart Camera, an AI-enabled box top that is used with a microscope. It provides end-to-end support to aid pathologists with such tasks as cell counting and grading.
EmPath features a high-resolution smart camera that plugs into the pathologist’s existing microscopes and communicates automatically with cloud-based software to provide simultaneous AI-powered data analysis, as well as full case management and reporting tools.
“A continued criticism of the field of medicine is the resistance to adopt new technology—but this is largely because new tools are designed to replace components of the workflow, sometimes even the physician, instead of optimizing it,” Hui Li, chief executive officer of Singularity.ai, said in a press release. “We recognize that for most pathologists, the microscope still remains the core instrument for their daily routine, so we spent years refining this solution so pathologists can benefit from state-of-the-art technologies at their own pace and comfort, here and now.”
Singularity.ai was founded with the mission to deliver innovative solutions that allow physicians to maintain control while advancing patient care. It is based in Silicon Valley with the backing of technology investors including Oriza Ventures, Joyance Partners, and Wisemont Capital. USCAP’s annual meeting is Feb. 29–March 5 in Los Angeles.
