ZayaAI

What ZayaAI does

ZayaAI is a private SaaS company, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Voluntari, Romania, that builds a Laboratory Information System (LIS) for the digital pathology market. Its core product, Zaya LIS, manages laboratory information workflows for pathologists and pathology laboratories, addressing pain points around fragmented tooling and the difficulty of scaling digital pathology into routine diagnostic practice. In December 2025, ZayaAI announced a strategic partnership with Lumea to embed Lumea's digital pathology viewer directly into its LIS, positioning the combined offering as a unified digital workspace for pathology workflows.

The company's underlying technology combines laboratory information management with image-based digital pathology viewing, with computer-vision processing for histopathology images delivered through the Lumea viewer integration rather than proprietary Zaya-built models. Zaya's business model is subscription-based recurring licensing of the LIS platform to pathology laboratories and healthcare institutions, with go-to-market executed through partner-embedded distribution — leveraging integration partners like Lumea to reach pathologists globally rather than through a large direct sales force. Available sources disclose limited commercial scale: headcount of 11-50, a single disclosed funding round of $510,000 in June 2023, no named customer logos, and no revenue figures, indicating the company remains at an early commercial stage.
