Reaping the Rewards of AI-Powered Digital Pathology in the Clinical Setting

14:35 - 16:05 on Day 1, Wednesday 29th January 2025, in the Single-Cell & Spatial Dome

This interactive roundtable will give attendees the opportunity to discuss directly with the experts how state-of-the-art algorithms are digitalizing pathology and supporting medical imaging. In just 1.5 hours, attendees will learn about the different ways in which AI tools are being clinically applied to advance diagnosis, precision medicine strategies and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

If you have a valid Festival ticket you can turn up for this session, there's no need to sign up in advance.


Discussion Overview and Key Points:

  • Introduction to the latest tools presented to pathologists including how AI is applied in pathology practice.
  • The advantages of digitizing pathology in terms of improving diagnostic accuracy, treatment response prediction and patient stratification. How are these new tools facilitating precision medicine approaches?
  • What added advantages does AI bring to digital pathology and how can these tools be optimised? How are foundation models becoming key in digital pathology?
  • How can we responsibly implement these new approaches and what are the challenges for clinical adoption of AI? E.g., data privacy, accountability, transparency, legal considerations and data security.
  • Looking towards the future and key considerations.
