Meet CytoSiA:
The Digital Cytology Solution Built to Scale Cervical Screening

The Challenge: Scaling Cervical Cancer Screening

Manual cervical cytology workflows are struggling to keep pace with increasing screening volumes, workforce shortages, and growing pressure for consistent, timely results.

The World Health Organization has set an ambitious global target, the 90 70 90 goals by 2030, with the aim of eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem (defined as ≤4 cases per 100,000 women) by achieving:

  • 90% HPV vaccination for girls by age 15
  • 70% screening of women with a high-performance test by ages 35 and again at 45
  • 90% treatment rates for pre-cancer and invasive disease

If labs aren’t digitally equipped to accurately triage, quantify, and standardize screening at scale, these 2030 targets, and the broader goal of reducing cervical cancer incidence globally, will remain out of reach.

Our Solution: CytoSiA

CytoSiA is a complete digital cytology solution purpose-built to scale cervical cancer screening.

It combines Brightfield slide scanning, AI-powered triage, and automated reporting into a seamless, scalable workflow that helps labs deliver faster, more consistent results, without costly infrastructure or locked platforms.

Whether you’re running a national screening program, a regional lab, or a mobile diagnostic outreach, CytoSiA makes cervical screening more efficient, accessible, and actionable, even in low-resource settings with limited on-site expertise.

Whether you’re running a national screening program, regional lab, or diagnostic chain, CytoSiA makes cervical screening more efficient, accessible, and actionable.

How CytoSiA Works

Scan. Index. Analyze.

A seamless digital workflow from slide to structured report.

  • Scan – Digitize slides using OptraScan’s OS-Six, OS-Lite, or OS-Ultra Brightfield scanners. The software is optimized for OptraScan systems but can be customized for third-party scanners or digital images.
  • Index – AI algorithms triage normal and abnormal cases and identify atypical cells, reducing manual review workload and improving focus.
  • Analyze – Automatically generate reports with probability-ranked cell images and summary visualizations, delivered in minutes.

Scanning Options:

  • Magnification: 20x or 40x
  • Resolution: 20x - 0.50 µm/pixel
    40x - 0.25 µm/pixel
  • Slide Capacity: 6 to 480
  • Focus Method: Z-stacking + AI Autofocus
  • Proprietary Composite Imaging to reduce image size

Indexing & AI-Triage:

  • IMAGEPath automatically indexes all scanned slides, generating thumbnails, metadata, and navigational maps
  • CytoSiA simultaneously runs AI to flag Bethesda-classified abnormalities in real time, organizing cases by status and ID for rapid access

Cell Classification Report:

  • AI analysis of individual cells (e.g., HSIL, LSIL, ASCUS, ASC-H), ranks up to 100 by probability, and generates quantitative data.
  • Instantly produces a clinician-ready report featuring embedded thumbnails, classification stats, and flagged regions. Full EMS/LIR interface.

What Makes CytoSiA Different

  • AI triage that flags high-confidence normal cases, reducing manual review time and fatigue
  • Up to 100 atypical cells auto-ranked by probability score for faster, focused review
  • Works with OptraScan scanners or existing infrastructure (no vendor lock-in)
  • Supports PAP smears, LBC, urine, and FNA specimens
  • Designed for labs of any size, from hospitals to mobile screening units
  • Telepathology-ready for mobile outreach and remote expert review in underserved areas
  • Trained on millions of cervical cancer datasets with high sensitivity and specificity
