Adam Cole and CEO of PathNet, Jason Camilletti, were invited to speak on the Digital Pathology Place with Aleksandra Zuraw to discuss the changing world of pathology and the advancement of medical technology.
DR. COLE’S JOURNEY INTO DIGITAL PATHOLOGY
Dr. Cole’s career began in traditional pathology, but he decided to make the switch once he saw that the future of the field could be changed by new technology. Dr. Cole shared his story before going digital of driving in an RV to multiple locations, sometimes commuting five hours across multiple states to read cases at multiple different clinics. For 18 months, Dr. Cole traveled around like this and in the episode, he spoke about the point at which he knew it was time to go digital. He also discussed how worth it was to switch to digital, improve accuracy with AI and practice digital pathology without location restraints.
WHAT IS TRUCORE?
TruCore is the diagnostic side of digital pathology. TruCore is a Pathology group that utilizes PathNet’s digital laboratory solutions. TruCore pathologists have the ability to work alongside other pathologists virtually from any location to ensure quicker and more accurate diagnoses.
HOW TRUCORE IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE
In the episode, Dr. Cole also mentioned that more than just the patient is affected by cancer, “It has a ripple effect on their family, their friends, so when you’re rendering one of these diagnoses and so the days from when they get that biopsy to when they get the report, those are long days.” TruCore is making a difference by getting eyes on more cases and getting results back to patients quickly and more efficiently. Dr. Cole mentions that pathologists are dwindling in number, but more and more patients still need results. At TruCore, we’re dedicated to improving patient care and decreasing turnaround times.
