Siemens Healthineers, a leading global medical technology company, and Evident which recently acquired Pramana, an AI-enabled health tech company modernizing the pathology sector — announced a strategic alliance to deliver a fully digital pathology workflow to Klinikum der Stadt Ludwigshafen am Rhein in Germany. This initiative will help expand access to advanced diagnostics, streamline processes, and support improved patient care.

“By combining Evident’s innovative approach for advanced imaging precision with our digital pathology solutions, we can integrate seamlessly into clinical workflows. This helps pathologists to diagnose with greater confidence while patients benefit from faster, more accurate treatment decisions,” said Svenja Lippok, Head of Digital Pathology & Cardiology IT at Siemens Healthineers.

“For us, digital pathology is not about efficiency gains — it is a pivotal step in our journey to deliver truly personalized healthcare,” said Dr. Mindaugas Andrulis, Head of the Institute of Pathology at Klinikum Ludwigshafen. “Together with Evident and Siemens Healthineers, we are not merely deploying an advanced digital pathology solution in isolation. We are integrating pathology with other diagnostic disciplines into a unified IT framework — the foundation of a data-driven hospital and, ultimately, an operating system that transforms AI models into real clinical care.”

Klinikum Ludwigshafen is a major non-profit teaching hospital and regional diagnostic hub serving the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan area, with a high-volume pathology lab that handles more than 25,000 histological cases annually. This integrated solution will support the hospital’s centralized digital pathology workflows and enable scanning of multiple specimen types, including cytology, using advanced volumetric imaging. The clinical and technological expertise of Siemens Healthineers, combined with Evident’s Pramana CE-IVDR–certified digital pathology platform, which features scanning automation, inline AI readiness, and integrated quality assurance and quality control, will deliver streamlined diagnostics and greater accuracy to support clinical decision-making.

“Digitizing pathology is more than just modernizing infrastructure—it’s about creating a foundation for faster diagnoses, stronger clinical collaboration, and smarter AI integration,” said Prasanth Perugupalli, Vice President and General Manager of Digital Pathology at Evident. “Together with Siemens Healthineers, we’re helping pathology labs and hospitals like Klinikum Ludwigshafen confidently take the next step toward scalable, next-generation testing capabilities.”
