Affinda's AI agents read, extract and validate laboratory test report data. Our platform is intuitive to set up and easily integrates into your systems. Simply:

1. Upload your laboratory test reports via drag-and-drop, email or API.
2. Configure business logic to match your organization's rules and workflows.
3. Let Affinda check and validate extracted data against your business logic and EHR, compliance or insurance systems to ensure accuracy.
4. Access structured laboratory test report data directly within your systems.

The result? Faster, more accurate laboratory test report processing with minimal manual input.

Yes. Our AI laboratory test report processing platform combines OCR with retrieval augmented generation (RAG), LLMs, agentic workflows, proprietary reading order algorithms and more, to automatically detect and process data from scanned or photographed invoices (PDF, JPG, PNG). Even low-quality images are automatically enhanced for reliable data capture and processing.

Our AI laboratory test report processing platform can automatically detect and process laboratory test reports in 50+ languages, including multilingual laboratory test reports containing more than one language. Supported languages include: Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Arabic (Standard, Egyptian, Sudanese, Algerian, Moroccan, Levantine), Bahasa Indonesian, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Bulgarian, Burmese, Chinese (Mandarin [PRC/Taiwan], Cantonese, Wu, Min Nan, Jinyu, Xiang, Hakka), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Javanese, Kannada, Korean, Latvian, Lingala, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Norwegian, Odia, Persian (Farsi), Polish, Portuguese, Punjabi (Western and Eastern), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese, Yoruba.

Yes. Our platform integrates with 400+ downstream systems, including major EHR, compliance and insurance platforms. You can create no-code integrations using our AI integrations agent, or build and host your own using our APIs – whatever works best for your laboratory test report processing workflow.

AI laboratory test report processing helps automate and streamline healthcare workflows across departments such as:

• Clinical and EHR Teams: Accelerate patient care by automatically extracting test results, patient details and provider information from any pathology report format. Structured data flows directly into EHR systems, eliminating manual entry and reducing turnaround times from hours to minutes.
• Laboratory Operations: Improve quality control with automatic validation against reference ranges and business rules. Flag abnormal results, detect missing data and handle complex multi-page reports with grouped test results – all while maintaining data integrity across specimen types and methodologies.
• Compliance and Insurance Teams: Simplify audit trails and claims processing by capturing complete test histories with full traceability. Automated data extraction ensures accurate documentation of patient IDs, accession numbers and test dates, supporting regulatory requirements and faster reimbursement cycles.

A laboratory test report optical character recognition (OCR) data extractor scans and captures information from pathology reports, regardless of format or language. Upload laboratory test report documents in PDF, JPG or PNG formats. The OCR technology first converts the documents into a text layer, ensuring all content (even from scans, photos or handwritten notes) is captured. Affinda's AI models then identify and extract key fields such as patient details, test types, results, dates, provider information and reference numbers, transforming them into structured, usable data.

This automation eliminates manual entry, reduces errors and speeds up turnaround times. Once the laboratory test report data is captured and structured, our AI laboratory test report processing pipeline can apply machine validation and post-processing to enable seamless integration with EHR, compliance or insurance systems.

Healthcare organizations, laboratories and insurance providers rely on Affinda's AI for their clinical workflows, compliance reporting and claims processing, streamlining operations and improving overall accuracy.
