We are for Pathologists.

BOOK A DEMO
Most pathologists we speak to chose this profession to make a meaningful impact on patient care - not be consumed by repetitive, manual tasks. What they value most is delviering accurate, timely diagnoses that truly make a difference.

As a pathologist using Franklin AI Digital Prostate, you're always in control. Only now, you also have an
A.I. assistant, helping identify small foci of cancer
and speeding up your reporting workflow.

Developed with and for pathologists like you.

Franklin AI Digital Prostate has been developed hand-in-hand with a global cohort of leading pathologists. After 100's of hours of interviews, they have told us that an adjunct tool like this reduces the chances something will be missed and increases their diagnostic confidence.

Accuracy you can rely on.

Across >1,700 slides that were reviewed by a panel of 12 subspecialists, our A.I. model achieved near perfect agreement or substantial agreement in significant clinical findings in Prostate Core Biopsies (PCB) and Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) cases.
Automation

Harness AI for measuring and counting.

Franklin AI Digital Prostate features automated quantification with grading and involvement for each specimen. Pre-populated synoptic reports designed to save you time.

A comprehensive product

Broader and deeper ontology.

Detects 45 clinical findings across prostate core biopsies and TURP specimens. This includes Gleason graded malignancies, prognostic factors and benign findings to help pre-fill more of your synoptic reports.
An adjunct tool

You’re always in control.

Our tool is built as a second pair of eyes as an adjunct tool.

FAQs

What kind of specimens does Franklin AI Digital Prostate support?
Prostate CORE Biopsy and TURP specimens; Radical Prostatectomy is not currently supported.
What ontology of findings are included?
We are validating against a wide range of 45+ malignant and benign findings. Contact us for our full ontology tree.
Will the AI bias me in my clinical judgement?
We’ve designed the product so you can reference the AI whenever you want. You can keep it on your second monitor so it’s outside your vision when you are performing primary diagnosis on your main monitor using a Whole Slide Image Viewer.

How will stain variation affect performance? Is on-site calibration or training needed? How generalisable is this (e.g., to different staining methods, operators, etc.)?
Franklin Digital was trained using a large and diverse dataset with varying H&E stain characteristics to ensure it is robust against lab-to-lab variability. The model has been optimised to handle different staining techniques, ensuring consistency in results across various labs. While the AI is designed to adapt to different conditions, on-site calibration may still be beneficial for certain labs to ensure the highest accuracy, particularly when using non-standard staining protocols. We offer support for on-site validation and training to help your lab optimise performance with Franklin Digital, ensuring it performs accurately across different operators and lab conditions.
How do I know the AI will work with my lab's specific conditions?
To ensure compatibility with your lab’s specific conditions, Franklin Digital is highly flexible and can be tailored to fit your workflows and sample types. We provide a pre-deployment validation process, where we run slides from your lab through the AI model to assess its accuracy and reliability. This step ensures that the product is suited to your lab’s unique staining methods, slide preparation techniques, and equipment. If adjustments are necessary, we provide full support to ensure that Franklin Digital delivers optimal performance in your lab environment.
Can your AI detect a specific finding? Can your AI detect rare cancers?
Franklin Digital has been trained on a comprehensive dataset that includes a wide range of histological findings, including rare cancers. The AI uses deep learning techniques to identify and classify malignant and benign tissue types, including rarer cancers that pathologists may encounter. If you are working with particularly rare cancer types, we encourage collaboration with our team to ensure the AI meets your needs. Get in touch with us if you’d like to know more about the full ontology of findings we support.
Why do you display findings such as “Acinar Adenocarcinoma”?
Franklin Digital will also show findings from what we call our ontology tree, which categorizes findings from broadest (the ‘trunk’), down the ‘branch’ and finally ending at the ‘leaf’. An example of this, is ‘adenocarcinoma, acinar’ -> ‘acinar gleason pattern 4’ -> ‘cribriform’, The reason we show all findings that the AI may identify this condition with a high degree of confidence, and we want to ensure that pathologists have all relevant findings available for review. By highlighting these findings, we allow pathologists to confirm and categorise the malignancy using an intuitive workflow, ensuring that no potential malignancy is missed during the review process. This goes towards improving the explainability of our model which we know is important to healthcare practitioners.
