Inspirata's Digital Pathalogy Workflow solution helps to digitalize the glass pathalogy slides with Philips scanner, which provides a high resolution image so that much more clarity and accurate opinions can be provided by the physicians from across the globe. It is expected that the time for cancer detection and diagnosis will be shortened from 12-13 days to 2-3 days.

Mark lloyd, executive vice president, founder, explains how the platform works:

  • Scan the slides
  • The digitalized image is put on cloud which then can easily be shared
  • On the CIDT platform, all the accumulated data is stored.
