Spotlight Pathology: Augmenting Pathology with Artificial Intelligence to Deliver Faster and Safer Cancer Diagnosis (ICURe Cohort D ID-12)

病理学家在癌症诊断中发挥着至关重要的作用，通过分析活检样本提供诊断和预后信息，使临床团队能够为每位患者确定最佳治疗方案。由于需求不断增长和合格员工短缺，英国和海外的病理学服务面临越来越大的压力，其中许多人即将退休，而实习生太少，无法取代他们。Spotlight Pathology正在开发人工智能软件，通过自动化工作流程，使病理学实验室更高效，从而帮助病理学实验室应对这些挑战，为急症病人进行分流，并提供准确的资料，供病理学家作出诊断时作分析。我们的目标是制造产品，帮助病理学家为患者提供更快、更准确的诊断。

Pathologists play a crucial role in diagnosis for cancer by analysing biopsy samples to provide diagnosis and prognostic information which allow clinical teams to identify the best treatment for each patient. Pathology services in the UK and overseas are under increasing pressure due to rising demand and a shortage of qualified staff, many of whom are due to retire with too few trainees to replace them.Spotlight Pathology are developing artificial intelligence software that will help make pathology labs deal with these challenges by making them more efficient through automating workflow, triaging urgent cases and providing accurate data for pathologists to analyse when making their diagnosis. Our aim is to make products that help pathologists give their patients a faster and more accurate diagnosis.
