Overview:
Digital pathology refers to use of digital tools and solutions for automation of pathology processes and lab testing. Growing prevalence of cancer and chronic diseases, increasing demand for rapid pathological tests and automation of healthcare system are some of the major factors that facilitated the advent of digital pathology. Digital pathology conveniently improves workflow efficiency and deliver faster and accurate test results as against the conventional methods. Other factors that are driving the growth of digital pathology market are ease of reach to remote areas, efficient record-keeping and reduction in diagnosis cost.
Technologies such as while slide imaging finds widest application in pharmaceutical research. High-resolution sample scanning, cloud storage of diagnostics data, ease of interpretation of voluminous data and data sharing are some of the prime features that has led to rapid adoption of digital pathology in pharmaceuticals sector. Though the concept of digital pathology is known for over a decade, it has only recently received its fair share of fame attributed by the latest technological advancements and its capability in cost containment in long-term application. High prevalence of cancer and the resultant urgency in rapid screening and diagnosis to deliver better treatment outcomes is also a significant factor that has urged the growth in demand for digital pathology in the field of disease diagnosis.
