COVID-19 Updates: Impact on Digital Pathology

Page 1

Impact of COVID-19 on Digital Pathology Industry 2020-2025 with Market Manufacturers With high transmissibility and no effective vaccine or therapy, COVID-19 is now a global pandemic. Government-coordinated efforts across the globe have focused on containment and mitigation, with varying degrees of success. Countries that have maintained low COVID-19 percapita mortality rates appear to share strategies that include early surveillance, testing, contact tracing, and strict quarantine. The scale of coordination and data management required for effective implementation of these strategies has—in most successful countries—relied on adopting digital technology and integrating it into policy and health care. This Viewpoint provides a framework for the application of digital technologies in pandemic management and response, highlighting ways in which successful countries have adopted these technologies for pandemic planning, surveillance, testing, contact tracing, quarantine, and health care. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in several disruptions to pathology over the last few months. Changes in caseloads and workflows are likely to continue for some time, and pressures could increase further with an influx of delayed cancer diagnoses once screening programs resume and people who have been holding off making appointments go to see their doctors. The fast-moving Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) of 2019 affects all of us severely. The most significant descriptions of how we live our lives are terms such as "social distancing," "selfquarantine," and "flattening the curve." Hopefully, this pandemic will soon be resolved, but its permanent effects will change the way we live and work. We are becoming increasingly used to remote and practical technologies. Although we will ultimately return to our daily activities, we will rely on these approaches for the complexities of the post-COVID-19 world in many working environments. Digital Pathology is on show but the pathologies are still huge. The automation of laboratories is now under way. Burges in the field of imagery technologies, such as entire diaphragm imaging (WSI), software applications, LIS and LIMS (in routine workflows) in lab information and management systems and networking advances have enabled pathology digitization.

The idea itself is old, but the technology required to support it has only become recently available. Therefore, recent years have seen the rapid widespread adoption of digital pathology as technology has advanced.
