Inside the Digital Lab (IDL) is a unique hands-on workshop that offers a look "under the hood" in a host institution that has successfully adapted and implemented AI, the latest technology, and workflow in innovative ways.
This year, IDL will showcase Michigan Medicine's successful journey to achieve comprehensive digital workflow for primary diagnosis in Anatomic Pathology. This immersive learning experience includes sandbox opportunities with partnering vendors as well as presentations on comparative use cases that help to formulate innovative idea exchanges and uncover possibilities for health systems across the world.
Laboratory Tours will be at the University of Michigan, North Campus Research Complex, Ann Arbor, MI.
Tour Details:
Follow a specimen from the grossing bench to the pathologist's screen, then try signing out a case yourself.
• Follow a specimen's journey. Trace every step of Michigan's end-to-end workflow: grossing, specimen collection, staining and slide preparation, high-resolution digitization, and distribution. Watch a single tissue sample become a digital case ready for diagnosis.
• Behind every slide, a skilled technician. Watch our technicians at work up close. You'll see the precision and craft that happen long before a slide reaches a screen.
• Step into a fully digital reading room. Explore all-digital viewing stations adapted to 10 different subspecialties. Each one is configured around how that specialty reads its cases.
• Take the controls. Sit down at a live digital workstation with full sign-out capability. Navigate whole-slide images and zoom from tissue overview down to cellular detail, the same way Michigan pathologists work every day.
Sessions will be at The Vanguard Hotel, Ann Arbor, MI
