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.
- ippisl 15y agoThere'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.
