Visiopharm presents innovations for tissue biomarker standardization, and launches early access program at upcoming USCAP 2021 virtual meeting
Visiopharm, a leader in AI-based digital pathology, announced it will be presenting innovations for tissue biomarker standardization at the upcoming 2021 United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology (USCAP) virtual meeting. In parallel, the company will launch its early access program to improve stain quality management, which is a critical aspect of standardized tissue biomarker assessment.
USCAP’s annual meeting is the largest pathology meeting in the US. The meeting consists of more than 40 divisions of specialized committee meetings, seminars, and presentations covering the latest innovations in pathology.
Visiopharm is enabling tissue pathology to enter the realm of precision medicine through a suite of AI-driven tools for precision pathology. AI is used for standardizing several steps along the journey from biopsy to data. Stain quality management and next generation image analysis are just two of the critical steps that will be discussed at USCAP.
At the Visiopharm sponsored seminar, the company will review the types and magnitude of standardization challenges in clinical workflows and offer potential solutions in precision pathology using digital image analysis based on AI. The seminar will furthermore discuss the regulatory pathways for digital and precision pathology.
“Visiopharm has over 20 years of experience and has mapped, quantified and mitigated error sources all along the value chain. We are taking radical and innovative approaches towards the standardized assessment of biomarkers. We look forward to discuss our observations and learnings with pathologists and other experts in the field at the upcoming seminar.”
