How Will AI Change the Jobs of Pathologists and Lab Professionals?

While the conversation surrounding Artificial Intelligence in healthcare often focuses on the ways the technology could revolutionize patient care, that excitement is often competing against some anxiety from pathologists and lab professionals about whether AI could make their jobs obsolete.
During our recent discussion on AI in the Lab, our panel explains why healthcare providers shouldn't fear the advancement of these tools if they remain flexible and willing to implement them into new workflows.

I like the discussion, but as a Director of Laboratory Services and a former I.T. Director, it seems the focus is not where I would have it. Pre-Analytical is where we lose time and have errors. we auto verify 87% of testing already in Chemistry. But if you've seen 1 lab........you've seen 1 lab. 😂

Thanks for that feedback! This was primarily a discussion to generate some ideas for best uses, so your input is definitely welcome. Couldn't agree more that there isn't a one-size fits all solution!
