Opportunities and Challenges for Digital Pathology and AI Solutions

Owkin surveyed pathologists and oncologists to understand the challenges they face at work, particularly related to digital transformation and the integration of AI solutions within diagnostic workflows.

While there is a growing consensus for a need for digitization and the opportunities AI solutions may provide, reception is nuanced, and adoption rate varies across regions and markets.

This reports explores user needs, sentiments, reservations, and the context more fully.

"We are 1600 pathologists in France, performing nearly 15 million acts. The reason? More numerous cases, more extensive sampling of surgical specimens, increased complexity of tumor subtypes… and most importantly, a clear decline in practicing pathologists.”
Catherine Guettier MD, PhD
Emeritus Professor of Pathology, Paris-Saclay University
"In the US, there is an expectation for very rapid pathology turnover, 24 hours or less. Whereas in Canada it could be many days or weeks even. Different regions have different expectations on pathology turnaround time.”
