Paige
- A reference laboratory processing high volumes of prostate core needle biopsies where a second read on every case is not staffablenot Figure 1
- A pathology department already digitised that wants a documented safety net against missed small foci of cancernot Figure 1
- A hospital laboratory struggling to recruit uropathology subspecialists and needing consistency across generalist reportingnot Figure 1
- A pharmaceutical company needing consistent biomarker scoring across trial sites rather than site-by-site pathologist variabilitynot Figure 1
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Paige
- The FDA authorisation is confined to prostate core needle biopsies, on compatible scanners, viewed through FullFocus, as an adjunct only; every other tissue type and every grading claim is outside that authorisation in the United States.
- The algorithm is worthless without a digital pathology programme already running, and slide scanning, storage and workflow typically cost far more than the software licence.
- Tempus acquired Paige in 2025, so the roadmap now competes for attention inside a genomics-led business, and the pathology-only buyer is no longer the primary customer.
- Scanner compatibility is a hard constraint rather than a preference, and a laboratory with an unsupported scanner fleet cannot use the authorised indication at all.
- Pricing is per case or per slide and unpublished, so a laboratory cannot model cost per reported case without entering a sales process.

- Yes. Figure 1 has a free tier, so you can try it without paying. Paige starts at On request.
- What is Figure 1 best used for?
- Figure 1 is most often used for patient care, medical records, practice management, telehealth. Of those, patient care and medical records are not what Paige is typically brought in for.
- What can Figure 1 do that Paige cannot?
- Figure 1 covers Case Sharing, Secure Messaging, Image Upload, Knowledge Discovery. Paige covers Paige Prostate Detect, Paige Prostate Grade and Quantify, Perineural invasion detection, Breast and lymph node applications.
Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Paige: What exactly is FDA authorised?
Paige Prostate Detect, as an adjunct for identifying areas of interest on digitised prostate core needle biopsy slides, viewed through the Paige FullFocus viewer on a compatible scanner. Nothing else in the portfolio holds that authorisation in the United States.
Paige: Is the European position broader?
Yes. The Paige Prostate suite including grading and quantification received IVDR certification in 2025, which covers more than the United States authorisation.
Paige: What did the pivotal study measure?
Pathologist cancer detection on individual slide images improved, with reported reductions in false negative and false positive readings. It measured pathologist performance with the tool, not standalone algorithm accuracy.
Paige: Who owns Paige now?
Tempus AI acquired Paige in 2025. Products remain branded Paige.
