The ability for digital pathology to help fight cancer in lower income countries is both one of the most recognized potentials of the technology, and also one of its least-often fulfilled. Motic’s goals for its new telepathology platform is to help affordably connect regional front-line hospitals with global medical professionals to advance healthcare and scientific discovery.
With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic putting most travel plans on hold, international projects have had to turn to emails and zoom calls in lieu of normal residency visits, or be forced to rely on slow physical mail or delivery services to share case slides and specimens. This provided the perfect opportunity for Motic to help by integrating quality, affordable whole-slide imaging scanners and the MoticFlow consulting platform at the Hôpital Universitaire de Mirebalais (University Hospital) in Mirebalais, Haiti. The project is part of the American Society for Clinical Pathology’s (ASCP) Partners for Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis Initiative, of which Motic has been a partner since 2018.
