Advancing Remote Cytology Analysis in the E-Leviate Clinical Programme

Share this:

Progress in healthcare does not come from a single breakthrough. It comes from many teams doing careful, disciplined work together. The E-Leviate clinical programme is supported by a multidisciplinary network, including Phenomics Australia, spanning clinical execution, recruitment, trial leadership, laboratory science, and specialist analysis.

As part of the E-Leviate clinical programme, high-quality cytology assessment is central to ensuring rigorous evaluation of human samples. Through advanced slide scanning and secure online access, Phenomics Australia Histopathology and Slide Scanning service node at the University of Melbourne have enabled remote pathology review, supporting timely, collaborative analysis across teams.

E-Leviate is a vaginal ring medical device designed to support pelvic organ prolapse, with the added capability of local, sustained drug delivery.

“We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the University of Melbourne Digital Slide Scanning service team at Phenomics Australia, whose support has been essential in enabling remote analysis of smears. Your expertise and dedication made this work possible, and we are truly grateful. Prolapse remains a condition that is highly in need of innovative approaches. Our trial of ultra-low dose estriol with E-Leviate has, so far, shown promising results, and both clinicians and patients greatly appreciate your invaluable contribution.” Dr Prathima Chowdary, CEO E-Leviate.

The slides are then handed to Tina, manager of the Phenomics Australia Histopathology and Slide Scanning service node, who oversees their digitisation and enables online access for pathology assessment.
