Changing “How Pathology Operates by Transforming Biopsy Diagnostics”
“We believe PathologyWatch will change how pathology operates by transforming biopsy diagnostics,” said Austin Waters, principal at SpringTide Investments. “PathologyWatch has created a platform to digitize pathology workflows and is a leading developer of AI algorithms that detect and characterize cancers from biopsy samples. The quality and breadth of their solution, and their early success in dermatopathology, is why we're bullish on the future of this company; PathologyWatch is redefining biopsy diagnostics as we know it.”
First Live Clinical Implementation of Dermatopathology AI with Ability to Generate Complete Reports
“We have the first live clinical implementation of dermatopathology AI that can generate a full report and make physicians significantly more efficient in Australia, as we’re working alongside physicians to better diagnose skin cancer,” said PathologyWatch co-founder and CEO Dan Lambert. “We provide dermatologists with a digital interface that lets them read their own cases. Heretofore, most of pathology has been done with a microscope. Our service offering is the first of its kind that can aid a dermatologist through digital tools and expert consultation.”
