The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Meditech on-premise deployment model requires significant infrastructure investment and ongoing IT maintenance; 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.
  • They diverge on capability: Meditech covers Electronic Health Records, Paige covers Paige Prostate Detect.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Paige

  • A pharmaceutical company needing consistent biomarker scoring across trial sites rather than site-by-site pathologist variabilitynot Meditech

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Meditech

  • On-premise deployment model requires significant infrastructure investment and ongoing IT maintenance
  • Complex implementation and customization process that can take months and require extensive staff training
  • User interface noted as outdated compared to modern cloud-native EHR competitors

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  • Pricing is per case or per slide and unpublished, so a laboratory cannot model cost per reported case without entering a sales process.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Meditech: What are the main clinical features included in Meditech EHR?

Meditech provides comprehensive clinical charting, access to patient vitals, medication history, lab results, diagnostic imaging, virtual care capabilities, and e-prescribing for healthcare professionals.

Source
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.

Meditech: Does Meditech support telehealth and virtual appointments?

Yes, Meditech offers Virtual Care and Virtual On Demand Care solutions allowing physicians to conduct video visits and deliver remote health services.

Source
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.

Meditech: Is Meditech HIPAA compliant?

Yes, Meditech EHR is HIPAA compliant, and both inpatient and ambulatory products are ONC-certified with FHIR-based interoperability standards.

Source
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.
