New Announcing Conflux — real-time evidence and proofreading, free for licensed pathologists

Building the evidence layer that pathology reporting has never had

Every diagnosis drives treatment. We're building the infrastructure to make sure nothing gets missed along the way.

The Problem

Pathology reports determine treatment plans, trial eligibility, and staging decisions—yet pathologists sign them out under time pressure, without reliable access to current evidence, structured checks, or real-time context. Missed biomarkers delay targeted therapy. Omitted fields trigger amended reports. Guidelines change faster than any individual can track.

Our Approach

Conflux embeds structured context, live evidence, and pre-sign-out checks directly into the reporting workflow. We extract and synthesize diagnostic data in real time—connecting findings to current guidelines, relevant literature, and ancillary recommendations at the point of sign-out.
