  hat tip My thought was that such such a machine would basically have a built-in, automated biopsy thing. Like, the machine really would do everything from taking a biopsy, looking at the sample, and then diagnosing. Tele-pathology is cool, but you still need to get the tissue sample somehow -- which I imagine is hard in a town/village without a hospital. You could have some kind of automated biopsy unit that then sends data back to a central C-Path server, I guess.

    There's an indian company selling biopsy helper robots. it robots simplify the process and enable technicians to take the biopsy instead of doctors, and the whole process is faster. see : http://www.perfinthealthcare.com/Procedure_Videos.html http://www.perfinthealthcare.com/Procedure_Videos.html Looking at the videos , it seems that the whole process can be done by robot, But maybe patients and other stakeholders feel this way is safer/more economical.
