In this episode we discuss the enterprise pathology platform and how it is so much more than image management. “It’s where work gets done and data lives,” according to Krishna Bala of Proscia. We discuss the components or steps involved in digital pathology workflow. How do we make it all seamless? What is the appropriate level of pathologist involvement in the design and implementation of such systems? How can software engineers acquire domain expertise? What does integration mean and how can we incorporate exciting new AI tools into our daily practice? We discuss the benefits of an open platform and why our guest thinks this model will ultimately win out.
