HEALTHCARE AI
While enabling complete digital transformation of the lab workflow , this application completely aligns with both human capabilities and the capabilities of a manual microscope . For Scopio , the next logical step is to break the barriers of human capabilities by harnessing the power of AI to analyse millions of cells .
Hematopathologists hold expertise on how morphology is related to cancers , precancerous conditions , anaemia , infections , coagulation and more , though this knowledge base is limited to qualitative information . Current knowledge , then , relies on the experiences of individuals or groups of experts using analogue microscopy – manual methods with just a small number of cells .
“ A computer is not limited to this number . It can take a single blood smear , look at 10,000 white blood cells , and start asking much deeper questions ,” says Hayut . “ Suddenly , things that used to be rare or accidental findings , become methodical and quantifiable .”
These are the concepts that guide Scopio ’ s research and development efforts as the team works to bring a pipeline of products to the market in the near future .
