Digital pathology: A pivotal moment of opportunity

Pathology is vital to the study of human disease. It is the foundational step in research and educational settings that aim to tackle chronic diseases. As such, pathology has an outsized impact on advancing human health. That’s why improving pathology to support human health, deepen knowledge, and prevent chronic diseases has such far-reaching impacts. Digital pathology, an innovative way to streamline and enhance pathology, is doing just that.

Prepare your organization to stay competitive in a fast-approaching future where artificial intelligence (AI), automated workflows, and timely collaboration will be standard practice.

Pathology challenges

As pathologists, clinicians, lab managers, and students know, traditional pathology is fraught with inherent challenges. As demand grows, the number of pathologists is simultaneously decreasing, creating a shortage of pathology services and overburdening staff. In addition, the physical glass slides used in pathology also incur challenges such as the potential for loss or breakage, difficulties locating and retrieving the slides, and complexities in sharing and storing slides.
