Optimizing workflows, exchanging tips and trends, learning from the best: that’s what the Smart In Media events are all about. Join us! Get to know experts and digitization trends, look through the digital microscope with colleagues, and experience innovations online and offline:
At the 60th birthday of the Royal College of Pathologists in the UK, we are not only congratulators but part of the hosts as well: Visit us at our stand at the Open Day at the colleges building in London, on June 21, 2022.
This online user meeting is for existing users of our SmartZoom® ClassRoom teaching platform: Julian Seibert, Product Manager of SmartZoom® ClassRoom, and Ivone Wesolowski, Head of Support, will present new functions and features. Attendees will be able to share ideas, ask questions, and provide suggestions for product development. The user meeting will begin at 2 PM (CEST) on Wednesday, July 22. If you are interested, please register by e-mail to Corina Turner, c.turner@smartinmedia.com
At the pathologists’ workshop of the “Sachsen-Anhaltischen Krebsgesellschaft e.V.” in Halle/Saale, the participants were able to experience our solutions for digital pathology live. We demonstrated manual scanning at the microscope as well as our PathoZoom® Digital Lab. This diagnostic platform allows pathologists to diagnose flexibly with any PC, tablet, or smartphone, regardless of time and place – for example, from the home office or on the road.
New contacts, inspiration, and insights: It was a great pleasure to be part of the 18th European Congress of Digital Pathology (ECDP) in Berlin. In the exciting environment of pathologists, computer scientists, biologists, technicians, students, clinicians, and industry partners, we participated in the discussions on the latest digital and computational pathology topics. Once again, we listened closely to what moves our customers and keeps the industry busy. We went into depth again at our workshop with Hamamatsu “Experiences from the Scanner to the Diagnostics Platform.”
At the annual conference of the German Society of Pathology, we presented innovative digital solutions for routine diagnostics at our booth. How these fit into the laboratory workflow excited the participants at our “Deep Dive Digital Pathology” workshop. With our scanner partner Hamamatsu, we showed what is crucial in the process, from scanning to selecting the image management system to using an open diagnostics platform such as the PathoZoom® Digital Lab.
It was great to be part of the HOSPEA family in Valencia this year. During the two days, our CEO, Dr. Detlef K.-H. Finkler, and General Manager Spain, Jens Martin Mallow, presented our cutting-edge digital pathology solutions for diagnostics and education to professionals from universities and hospitals. In a country like Spain, with sometimes long distances between medical sites, Digital Pathology can help to speed up diagnoses for patients. Because our Pathology solutions digitally connect physicians in different locations in seconds.
Two days of great speakers, varied presentations, interesting industry booths, and professional exchange at the HISTOLOGICA Congress in Oberhausen were a great pleasure for us. Finally, after such a long time, we were able to meet customers and partners again. It was marvelous to see how Digitization is lived and implemented by so many different people and labs: from renowned institutes, young pathologies, many dermatologies … It is precious for us to hear and understand their diverse perspectives and requirements.
Sample receipt, preparation, labeling of the slides with barcodes, scanning, and finally diagnosing on the screen: This is the workflow when working digitally in pathology. The participants of our online workshop “Digital Pathology” saw what this looks like in practice in the digitized laboratory for pathology and cytology Troisdorf/Germany. PD Dr. Alberto Pérez Bouza showed how pathologists could work from home and on the road through digitization. He also gave an insight into his routine diagnostics including reducing the error rate, accelerating processes, and making diagnoses and organization within the institute more efficient.
Archiving specimens and preparations is a challenge. At the expert meeting, we presented our solution, implemented by our cooperation partner Z.A.S. Zentral Archive Service. The managing directors, Dr. Benjamin Bader and Norman Braun, gave an insight into their unique archive for the pharmaceutical sector and thus also for pathologies. There, pathologies can not only archive their preparations but also have them digitized – and then, if necessary, request them again at the click of a mouse.
Immediate exchange of specimens with the click of a mouse, second opinions via a live stream of the microscope view, and digital diagnostics from any location at any time. Thanks to Digital Pathology, it’s the everyday life at the Institute of Hematopathology Hamburg/Germany. At the “Virtual Forum Digital Pathology,” Lukas Heukamp, M. D., gave participants an insight into the largest laboratory in northern Germany and the digital workflows, which extend to the use of AI-supported diagnoses.
Improved workflows, more efficient communication with colleagues, and innovative technologies for faster diagnoses: Digital Pathology optimizes the entire laboratory workflow. Alberto Peréz Bouza, M. D., showed what this looks like at the Institute of Pathology and Cytology in Troisdorf at the interactive expert meeting at the end of March.
What is the advantage of digital microscopy platforms – even after Corona? How can lecturers and students use virtual microscopy for modern e-learning at universities? Answers from daily practice provided Dr. Phil Langton, B.Sc., Ph.D. (Lanc.), University of Bristol, at our expert meeting in March.
Artificial intelligence has long since matured as support in routine diagnostics. The participants of our symposium “Digital Pathology: No Fear of AI” were able to experience this first-hand. Felix Faber provided insights; he is the founder & CEO of Mindpeak, one of the leading artificial intelligence developers for Digital Pathology.
We were pleased to be part of the international “Digital Pathology & Image Analysis Training School” in Vienna. Martin Weihrauch, M. D., CEO of Smart In Media, shared his tips & experiences under the topic “The road to digitization and the use of AI in pathology.”
Further your education in the field of “Bone Marrow Diagnostics for Hematologists” & learn from the top experts in our online microscopy course “From cytomorphological findings to conclusive diagnosis”. The focus is on typical, complex, and rare microscopic slides and constellations of findings. The course is held in German.
There was a lot of activity in our virtual lounge at the “Bamberger Morphologietage”: We met customers and interested physicians, gave virtual insights into our PathoZoom® Digital Lab, and encountered well over 100 participants and huge interest in working in our Digital Lab at the lunch symposium.
