Austria's Tyrolpath Leads Europe with First Clinical Adoption of Techcyte's SureView™
Tyrolpath launches Europe's first SureView™ installation, combining AI, imaging, and automation for high-volume cervical cytology.
'Dr. Obrist and his team are pioneers in adopting new technologies to advance patient care, and we are proud to support their vision with our AI-driven solutions.'— Ben Cahoon, Chief Executive Officer of Techcyte
OREM, UT, UNITED STATES, June 3, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Techcyte, leader in AI-powered digital pathology, announced today the first European clinical implementation of its Techcyte SureView™ cervical cytology solution at Tyrolpath, one of the largest private pathology laboratories in Austria. In partnership with BD, Techcyte's exclusive global distributor for Techcyte SureView™, this milestone marks a significant advancement in the digital transformation of cervical cancer screening in Europe.
Tyrolpath, located in Zams, Austria, processes hundreds of thousands of Pap smears annually. To manage this volume, and lay the foundation for future diagnostic applications, Tyrolpath acquired the Pramana Spectral HT-4 scanner — the only open, multipurpose whole slide imaging system to offer smart, inline, volumetric scanning, providing high-throughput capacity, redundancy, and the flexibility to support multiple indications. The lab has integrated Techcyte's SureView™ platform alongside BD's SurePath™ liquid-based cytology, creating an automated, end-to-end cervical cancer screening workflow from sample collection through digital review.
'We are thrilled to see Tyrolpath leading the way in Europe,' said Ben Cahoon, Chief Executive Officer of Techcyte. 'Dr. Obrist and his team are pioneers in adopting new technologies to advance patient care, and we are proud to support their vision with our AI-driven solutions.'
Dr. Peter Obrist, owner of Tyrolpath and a key opinion leader in cytology, remarked, 'SureView™ brings a new level of confidence to cervical screening. The combination of BD SurePath™ preparation, Pramana's high-quality imaging, and Techcyte's AI analysis enables us to maintain the highest diagnostic standards while preparing for the future of digital pathology.'
Sandra Knöthig, Product Manager Women'sHealth & Cancer C&EE from BD added, 'This collaboration marks an important step in the evolution of cervical cancer screening. Our partnership with Techcyte and Tyrolpath demonstrates how innovation can be scaled to meet the needs of high-volume laboratories while laying the groundwork for broader diagnostic applications.'
This implementation reflects a growing interest across Europe in modernizing cytology workflows through integrated, digital solutions. As partners explore the broader potential of AI and automation in laboratory diagnostics, this collaboration serves as an example of how technology and expertise can come together to support the evolving needs of clinical practice.

Finnish Fiberwood Secures €3.1M EU Grant to Scale Carbon-Storing Building Materials
JÄRVENPÄÄ, Finland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Finnish deep tech startup Fiberwood Ltd has secured €3.1 million in funding from the EU LIFE Programme to reduce buildings' carbon footprints. The company will use the grant to scale up its sustainable insulation solutions made from wood industry side streams and accelerate its entry into broader European markets. 'We believe forests deserve smarter use,' says CEO Tage Johansson. 'We're turning side streams into something more valuable." Share By refining underutilised materials such as mechanical wood residues and recycled wood into high-performance components, Fiberwood adds value to the forest industry and promotes circular use of timber. Its plastic-free, recyclable fibre boards can replace fossil-based insulation in construction and support the EU's transition to low-emission building practices. Tackling a Global Challenge in Construction The construction sector accounts for 42% of global greenhouse gas emissions. In the EU, most insulation materials are still fossil-based, and over 98% end up in landfills or the environment. While demand for greener alternatives is rising, many bio-based options fall short of technical requirements. Fiberwood aims to bridge that gap. Founded in 2019, the company has developed a patented technology to produce recyclable and compostable boards with thermal performance, structural durability, fire safety, moisture resistance, and material longevity. This rare combination opens new possibilities for sustainable design. 'We believe forests deserve smarter use,' says CEO Tage Johansson. 'We're turning side streams into high-performance materials that meet real construction needs while reducing environmental impact.' Backed by the EU to Accelerate Market Readiness Fiberwood is building a demo production line in Järvenpää, southern Finland, to enable deliveries for customers' pilot projects. The €3.1M EU LIFE grant supports production optimisation, new side-stream validation, and final performance testing, resulting in a blueprint for Fiberwood's first industrial-scale factory. The company's B2B customers include leading building materials companies in Nordic and European markets. They will integrate the fibre components into their existing products and sell them under their own brands. 'This is a turning point,' Johansson says. 'Our material allows customers to make a sustainable leap without changing how they design or sell their products, giving them a competitive edge with minimal disruption.' Before securing LIFE funding, Fiberwood had raised €10.7 million from investors such as Metsä Spring, Stephen Industries, and public innovation funds. The company is preparing for international growth and seeking partners across the European construction value chain. About Fiberwood Fiberwood is a Finnish deep tech company refining wood industry side streams into sustainable, high-performance building and packaging materials. Its customised fibre components reduce buildings' carbon footprints and support the shift to fossil-free construction. Founded in 2019, Fiberwood serves B2B customers across the Nordic and European building materials sector and is ramping up its first demo production line for pilot projects.
