Digital pathology is the process of digitizing glass slides using a whole slide image scanner and then analyzing the digital images using an image viewer, typically on a computer monitor or mobile device. Digital pathology offers a better viewing experience, which enhances analysis. This lowers diagnostic error rates. These tools additionally provide service providers immediate access to earlier cases for comparison. These advanced systems store data for use in long-term predictive analysis. Specimens are barcoded to reduce the chance of misidentification. Also, this removes concerns about lost data due to slide breakage. In the modern world, digital pathology has many benefits including improved disease diagnosis accuracy, quicker recovery times, increased pathologist productivity, and so on. As a result of these benefits, healthcare facilities are increasingly using digital pathology platforms for disease diagnosis, and major market players are getting involved in product launch process.
Market Dynamics
The use of new technologies for the development of innovative digital pathology platform is expected to drive the growth of the global digital pathology market over the forecast period. For instance, in June 2022, Tribun Health, a software company, launched TeleSlide Patho 5, an online telepathology platform which is utilized for sharing digital pathology slides and other multimedia documents.
Increasing number of partnerships by the market players is expected to drive the market growth over forecast period. For instance, on September 23, 2022, Paige AI, Inc., a provider of digital pathology solutions and clinical AI applications, and OptraScan, a producer of whole slide scanners, announced a partnership to streamline the adoption of digital pathology technology in the U.S., European Union countries, and U.K. The companies’ goal is to lower obstacles to glass pathology slide digitization, which will improve oncology and pathology workflows.
