Frequently Asked Questions
Need something cleared up? Here are the answers to the most common questions.
Yes. elea Lab supports the full end-to-end workflow in pathology – from digital order entry (if required) and sample reception, through macroscopic examination and the complete laboratory process, all the way to histological assessment, report creation, and report delivery.
In some countries, billing can also be handled directly via elea. In Germany, elea is “KV-certified”, ensuring compliance with local billing and regulatory requirements.
No, elea does not require any special hardware. elea is a web-based system and can be used on standard computers with a modern web browser.
That said, many customers choose to use iPads as their primary devices. elea offers a dedicated iPad app and takes full advantage of the iPad’s capabilities:
- the integrated camera for scanning and photo documentation,
- a high-quality microphone for voice input,
- mobile use directly in the lab, and
- a secure and reliable platform.
This combination allows teams to work flexibly, efficiently, and close to the actual workflow in the pathology lab.
Yes, absolutely. elea is designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of laboratory devices, including cassette printers, slide printers, staining machines, and other pathology equipment.
Thanks to its open and interoperable architecture, elea can be connected to existing systems and devices without any issues, ensuring smooth workflows and consistent data flow across the entire lab.
elea does not include its own built-in WSI viewer. However, interoperability is a core principle of elea, and we ensure maximum convenience for our customers.
elea can be seamlessly connected to the common IMS and scanner viewers used in digital pathology. This allows cases to be opened in either system – elea or the IMS – with the corresponding case automatically opening in the other system at the same time.
As a result, users benefit from a smooth, integrated workflow without the need to manually switch between systems.
Yes. elea Lab is scalable by design and works equally well for small laboratories, large pathology institutes, and multi-site networks.
Yes. elea Lab fully supports multi-location setups, shared case pools, and cross-site collaboration within one system.
Yes. elea Lab is built around interoperability and integrates with HIS, LIS, IMS, scanners, and laboratory devices using established standards such as HL7 and FHIR.
AI in elea Lab assists users throughout the workflow – for example with voice-based documentation, structured reporting, smart suggestions, and automation of routine tasks. The final medical responsibility always remains with the user.
Yes. elea Lab is designed to meet GDPR and medical data protection requirements, with strong security, role-based access control, and audit trails.
elea Lab is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. Most users can work productively after a short introduction.
Yes. elea Lab supports mobile workflows, especially through iPads, allowing users to work directly where the samples and processes are.
Implementation timelines depend on scope and integrations, but elea Lab is designed for fast and structured rollouts.
elea offers dedicated onboarding, training, and ongoing support, working closely with customers as a long-term partner.
