In this episode sponsored by Epredia, Dr. Anil Parwani explores the transformative journey of digital pathology from basic slide scanning to AI-driven diagnostics. He shares real-world implementation experiences and demonstrates how these technologies are addressing critical challenges in pathology practice.

• Pathology faces increasing demands amid workforce shortages and knowledge explosion
• Digital pathology provides standardization, objectivity, and automation beyond glass slides
• Ohio State University has scanned 4.2 million slides representing nearly 500,000 cases since 2016
• Current AI applications include biomarker quantification, rare event detection, and tumor classification
• Integration challenges remain the primary barrier to seamless adoption of AI tools
• Future technologies include virtual staining, 3D pathology, and large language model integration
• Artificial intelligence remains task-oriented while real intelligence is context-aware and knowledge-based
• Each institution must navigate their own "digital pathology chasm" based on specific needs
• Digital tools will augment pathologists' capabilities rather than replace human expertise
• The technology marketplace offers solutions for every stage of the digital transformation journey
