SYNTHESLIDE

Syntheslide is a digital pathology start-up company focused on cost effective mobile whole slide image production... We have developed a Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) protocol that acquires image data from an externally mounted digital camera/smartphone on a microscope ocular. We developed a universal adapter to standardize camera placement with respect to the microscope ocular. An associated smartphone application sends imaging data for our server to algorithmically post-process into an interactive WSI, accessible through our mobile app and our website. Most pathology labs already implement the use of digital scanning machines or already have some form of digital pathology telemedicine consultation solution in place. Digital slide scanning machines can be many thousands of dollars of expenditures and are not yet a cost effective solution for all labs of the world. Moreover, the cost of software integration of imaging data into hospital EMRs can well surpass the overall cost of hardware...
