Sectra Unveils AI-Powered Innovations at HIMSS 2026

In a groundbreaking presentation at HIMSS 2026, Sectra, a leading international company in medical imaging IT and cybersecurity, showcased its latest AI innovations driven by Model Context Protocol (MCP). The company aims to revolutionize workflows in enterprise imaging, ultimately accelerating diagnostics and improving the decision-making process for healthcare professionals.

At the core of Sectra's display was an assortment of AI-driven solutions designed to automate complex tasks and reduce operational burdens in healthcare settings. By concentrating on the themes of system consolidation and interoperability, Sectra's solutions strive to create a seamless integration of AI within existing frameworks. This innovation is anticipated to ease the workload of physicians and enable them to deliver faster, more accurate diagnoses, improving patient outcomes across the board.

Fredrik Gustavsson, Chief Technology Officer of Sectra Imaging IT Solutions, emphasized that the future of enterprise imaging is not merely about improving user interfaces but fundamentally changing the way healthcare IT operates. He states, "It’s about telling your system what you need and having autonomous agents make it happen. All tasks, from workflow logic to user provisioning, occur instantaneously and securely without unnecessary complexity. This indicates a new operating model for healthcare IT."

One of the standout elements of Sectra's presentation was its MCP prototype, an emerging open standard gaining traction in various industries. This protocol simplifies the ways in which AI can be integrated across multiple domains of medical IT, making room for enhanced interoperability not just in imaging, but also in integrated diagnostics, including genomics. The result is a robust framework that facilitates smoother data exchanges, allowing healthcare providers to focus on what matters most—patient care.

AI-Driven Capabilities

Sectra's innovations consist of several key capabilities aimed at optimizing healthcare IT:

• - AI for Operations: The Operations AI system, powered by MCP, automates numerous complex IT tasks, helping to decrease manual effort while boosting system efficiency.
• - AI for Workflows: The Amplifier Services marketplace by Sectra features over 100 validated AI applications, which are seamlessly integrated into clinical workflows to assist in triaging and prioritization tasks, thereby improving responsiveness within healthcare environments.
• - AI for Diagnostics: The platform equips clinicians with advanced tools for tasks such as lesion segmentation, pathology cell counting, and automated chest X-ray analysis—enhancing both speed and diagnostic accuracy.
• - Autonomous AI in Radiology: With the anticipated acquisition of Oxipit, which has received CE Class IIb certification for autonomous AI in chest X-ray analysis, Sectra is advancing its autonomous capabilities significantly. This development allows for higher confidence cases to be processed without needing a radiologist's review, initially launching in Europe.

Sectra’s enterprise imaging solution serves as a unified platform, adept at handling vast and complex datasets, including imaging and genomic information. By structuring these data, the system facilitates automatic integration into Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems, promoting enhanced collaboration across various specialties, including radiology, pathology, genomics, and cardiology. The scalable and modular design encourages healthcare providers to transition between systems from one specialty to another while simultaneously reducing operational costs.

At HIMSS, attendees will have the opportunity to see these innovations in action at Sectra's booth, where representatives will discuss how the company's solutions can fundamentally transform workflows in healthcare. From MCP-powered prototypes to robust AI tools tailored for diagnostics, Sectra's approach promises to streamline collaboration and significantly enhance patient outcomes.
