During the Covid lockdowns, we hosted our annual pathology conference, SPARCC - 100% virtually - using Morphle whole slide imaging pathology. Though we were initially nervous about doing this completely online, the program turned out to be a huge success - double the attendance and significant international participation, as a bonus.
800 participants were able to review digitized specimen slides simultaneously - with no lag in the image viewers on their computer screens from across the world. Morphle’s high resolution image zooming and digital imagery made sure the experience was immersive and completely hands-on for all participants - even without physical microscopes and slides.
This is solid proof of how digital pathology is going to remove barriers to pathology education and pave the way for knowledge sharing, interpretation, and collaboration.
