Diagnosis work is not just a matter of gathering information. Clinicians need to organise and interpret data, to relate measurements, images, findings and patient history in support of accurate, defensible conclusions.
The software platform developed by NEXUS AG [ETR: NXU] incorporates expert knowledge from laboratory medicine, pathology, radiology and other diagnostic disciplines into a connected clinical record, contributing to a more structured and intelligent approach to diagnosis. The platform uses standardised clinical terminology, evidence-based logic and ongoing data monitoring to ensure that critical information stays relevant throughout the patient journey.
The process begins at the point of documentation. WinData Clinic provides digital forms, specifically tailored for individual exams, built with clinically validated terminology. Healthcare teams can tailor fields, provide clinically relevant information and add free-text notes when a patient's situation requires more context. The balance between structure and flexibility helps maintain consistent documentation while preserving clinical judgement. The semantic data model also stores information in a way that facilitates future reviews, reporting and analysis.
This structured approach is also integrated into the development of reports with NEXUS/ADVANCED REPORTING, an intelligent reporting solution that aims to make clinical workflows easier. Data from connected medical devices can be automatically incorporated into appropriate sections of diagnostic reports, while suggested text generation can assist clinicians with more efficient documentation of findings. Rather than trying to fit all specialties into a single reporting format, the software adapts to the terminology, workflow and documentation needs of different clinical settings.
The result is a reporting process where information captured once can support multiple downstream activities. Structured entries can help in creating diagnostic and procedure codes, in composing report letters from documented findings, and in automatically deleting incomplete or unnecessary sections. The platform automates repetitive admin work, freeing clinicians to spend more time interpreting and caring for patients.
Connecting Devices, Images and Reports
Diagnostic information rarely comes from a single source. Images, videos, device measurements and clinical observations are often collected at different stages and stored in different systems. NEXUS AG helps bring these elements together by creating a connected environment where all relevant diagnostic evidence can be viewed within the same patient case.
The company's diagnostic portfolio supports a wide range of specialities, including gastroenterology, cardiology, ophthalmology, gynaecology, radiology, pathology, cytology, genetics and laboratory medicine. This allows departments to work with specialised tools designed for their specific needs while maintaining access to a broader, integrated information ecosystem.
NEXUS/DIAGNOSTICS demonstrates this approach by combining examination images and videos with data captured during specialist procedures such as electrocardiograms, pacemaker checks and manometry. By connecting directly with medical devices, the platform reduces manual data entry and helps ensure measurements are accurately transferred into diagnostic reports. Structured workflows guide clinicians from examination and documentation through interpretation and final reporting, while automated report-letter generation helps move completed findings into existing hospital processes.
The same connected approach extends to radiology through NEXUS/RIS, PACS, teleradiology and portal solutions. The radiology information system supports the complete workflow, from patient preparation and structured reporting to dose management, image exchange and document storage. PACS provides flexible image management for healthcare providers of different sizes, from individual practices to large hospitals, while redundant system architecture helps ensure continued access to important diagnostic studies. Existing imaging equipment can also remain integrated through established interfaces.
In pathology, NEXUS AG connects the entire journey from specimen handling to final diagnosis. NEXUS/PATHOLOGIE supports processes such as specimen registration, laboratory documentation, microscopy, dictation, reporting, billing, statistics and quality management. Configurable protocols help laboratories define requirements for different tissue and material types, creating consistent workflows while maintaining the detailed records needed to track every step of specimen processing.
Monitoring the Entire Diagnostic Process
Reliable diagnostics depend not only on accurate results but also on visibility into how work moves through the system. NEXUS/LAB BOARD provides real-time insights into laboratory, pathology and cytology workflows, helping teams identify delays, manage workloads and improve operational efficiency before issues affect reporting timelines. Because the platform can be adapted to different laboratory environments, organisations can monitor performance based on their specific processes.
Digital pathology adds another level of integration. NEXUS/PATHO-PACS enables laboratories to manage digitised slides in DICOM format through a high-resolution viewer that brings together patient information, previous findings, macroscopic images and slide scans in one place. Through standardised interfaces, the system connects with pathology, laboratory and hospital information systems, reducing the fragmentation that can occur when diagnostic data is spread across multiple applications.
This connected view also enables collaboration beyond physical locations. Pathologists can review cases remotely, support faster second opinions through telepathology and incorporate compatible artificial intelligence applications through the EMPAIA interface when needed. Rather than replacing clinical expertise, the technology supports specialists by organising relevant information and making critical evidence easier to access and evaluate.
NEXUS/LAB expands this approach across central laboratories, specialist laboratories, cytology, human genetics and molecular pathology. From communication portals and order-entry systems to laboratory hardware such as cassette and slide printers, the platform connects every stage of the diagnostic process. Molecular pathology workflows can include laboratory documentation, digital process control, biobank management and next-generation sequencing panels, ensuring that sample history, analysis and reporting remain connected throughout the case lifecycle.
Demonstrating Value in Clinical Practice
Connected diagnostics can improve everyday clinical workflows, and the implementation at Klinik Arlesheim demonstrates how. The Swiss hospital introduced NEXUS/DIAGNOSTICS across gastroenterology and cardiology to manage increasing volumes of imaging data and provide clinicians with faster access to treatment-relevant information. By bringing examination images, videos and specialist diagnostic data into a unified reporting environment, the platform enabled clinicians to document findings once and carry that information into broader hospital processes.
The implementation also highlights the importance of adapting technology to clinical needs. Before launch, specialists, IT teams and administrators worked together to define requirements, while training and on-site support helped staff transition smoothly to the updated workflows. Rather than requiring teams to change their established practices, the system was configured around existing clinical routines. Today, it supports more than 600 customers across over 20 specialities and more than 250 examination types.
A 2025 implementation at Christophorus Kliniken Coesfeld further demonstrates the platform's operational impact. Clinic WinData was integrated into the hospital's new cardiac catheterisation area within five days, with separate training provided for physicians and nursing teams. During a simulated emergency scenario, staff were able to document, coordinate and complete the full workflow within 20 minutes, including the information required for follow-up care, quality assurance and final reporting.
Integration with the hospital's SAP system created a seamless digital pathway from patient admission and preparation through examination documentation, dictation, administrative processing, quality management and report completion. Users benefited from improved workflow visibility, reduced duplicate work and higher data quality.
The recognition as one of the Top Evidence-Based Diagnostic Solutions in Europe 2026 reflects NEXUS AG's ability to transform complex clinical information into connected, reliable workflows that support better diagnostic decision-making.
Turning Diagnostic Evidence into Usable Clinical Workflows
Diagnostic software is often purchased to solve a documentation problem, but the deeper issue is clinical continuity. Images, device measurements, specimen details, and physician notes may all describe the same patient case while sitting in separate systems. The risk is not only slower reporting. It is the loss of context that occurs when specialists must assemble the evidence themselves before reaching a conclusion they can defend.
Hospital leaders should look beyond report generation. A useful diagnostic platform should structure information at the point of capture while leaving room for clinical judgment. Rigid forms can frustrate physicians, but freetext documentation alone limits coding, quality review and later analysis. The better model gives clinicians clinically validated terminology, tailored exam fields and a way to retain extra narrative detail when the case demands it. Structured data should make the record more useful, not make the clinician work around the software.
Device integration carries equal weight. Diagnostic departments rely on images, videos, and measurements that come from specialized equipment. Manual transfer creates delay and transcription risk, especially when results must move into reports, hospital systems and follow-up workflows. A stronger system brings device data into the relevant section of the diagnostic record, then supports report letters, procedure coding and downstream documentation without repeated entry. Time saved in this part of the workflow has direct value for departments facing heavy case volume.
Specialty depth matters because diagnostic work is not uniform. Radiology, laboratory medicine, pathology, and cardiology each depend on different processes and proof points. A platform that treats every department as a generic documentation environment can create new work for clinicians. Hospital buyers need software that respects specialty language and local routines while still contributing to a connected patient record. Flexibility should not mean fragmentation.
Process visibility is another practical divider. Diagnostic quality depends on knowing where work stands, not simply storing completed reports. Laboratories need to see sample progress and workload pressure. Pathology teams need control over specimens, slides, dictation, and final reports. Radiology departments need image access, dose tracking and exchange tools that keep studies available. Real-time monitoring helps managers find bottlenecks before reporting delays affect care teams.
Digital pathology and remote review have made integration even more important. Slide scans, prior findings, macroscopic images and patient details need to stay together when specialists work across locations. Standard interfaces and compatible AI applications can support second opinions and complex review, but only if the underlying record remains coherent.
