Branham Group Releases Report on Digital Pathology

This comprehensive report takes an in-depth look at the evolving field of Digital Pathology, the benefits its provides, and the challenges it faces towards wider adoption

- Branham Group Inc., a leading global Information and Communication Technology (ICT) analyst and strategic marketing consultancy, recently released a report on the Evolving Field of Digital Pathology.

The report discusses the nascent field of Digital Pathology, which is rapidly gaining momentum as a proven and essential technology that is helping to reduce laboratory expenses, improve operational efficiency, enhance productivity, and improve treatment decisions and patient care. Digital Pathology is starting to be used worldwide in drug development, reference lab, hospital, and academic medical center settings. Applications include education, research, image analysis, archival and retrieval, LIS/LIMS integration, secondary consultations, and virtual slide sharing.

"The digital pathology market is still evolving; however, there is little doubt that the benefits are powerful and will outweigh the challenges in due course of time," says Wayne Gudbranson, President and CEO of Branham Group. "However, the timeline of when a digital pathology will be fully integrated into the health care system is uncertain, and predicting this is akin to gazing into a crystal ball. Several issues underlay this uncertainty, including lack of standards, minimal regulatory clearances, and resistance to change, to name a few. On the IT side, more integration of digital images with computer systems (e.g., LIS, PACS) is needed, as well as standards and benchmarks for the entire digital imaging process."

The report has been produced as part of Branham's Digital Health NOW offering, which provides unbiased information and analysis of trends in Digital Health, and an in-depth analysis on the current state of Digital Health deployment in Canadian healthcare organizations.
