The convergence of laboratory medicine, novel whole-slide imaging technologies, and the availability of cloud storage has created a unique opportunity for advancing patient care. At Mayo Clinic, state-of-the-art scanning facilities support the extensive digitization of pathology slides. The clinic has developed a robust infrastructure, including a dedicated team and advanced scanners, to handle the high volume of slides produced. Pramana scanners integrate AI for real-time quality control, ensuring high accuracy in digitizing archived tissue slides.

By empowering pathologists with user-friendly AI tools to develop their own algorithms, Mayo Clinic fosters innovation and upskilling. Some of many successful AI projects are those resulting in automated scoring for eosinophilic esophagitis and integrating genomics with histopathology.

Mayo Clinic's BioPharma initiative leverages a vast multimodal dataset, in partnership with biopharmaceutical companies, for biomarker discovery and validation. The initiative aims to provide end-to-end solutions for digital and molecular biomarker identification, enhancing the integration of clinical data with innovative technologies.

the future of digital pathology, including the potential of 3D imaging, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) to revolutionize diagnostic workflows. Examples include AI-driven mutation prediction algorithms and immersive VR environments for pathologists. All is poised to significantly enhance diagnostic precision, efficiency, and collaboration within the medical community.

The Mayo Clinic approach underscores the importance of integrating cutting-edge technology with clinical expertise for better patient care.
