Overview
- The Journal of Clinical Microbiology reports 98.6% positive agreement after discrepancy review and 169 additional organisms detected beyond manual reads.
- A limit-of-detection study found the system identified parasites in highly diluted samples, indicating improved detection at early or low parasite levels.
- Training drew on more than 4,000 parasite-positive cases from laboratories in the United States, Europe, Africa and Asia across 27 parasite classes, including rare species.
- ARUP expanded AI to wet-mount analysis in March 2025, becoming the first laboratory to apply AI across the entire ova-and-parasite testing workflow.
- The AI-enabled workflow helped ARUP manage a record surge in parasite specimens in August without quality loss, and ARUP with Techcyte plans expansion beyond parasitology with Pap testing already assisted by AI.
