From Lab Bench To Bedside: Helping Medical Innovators At Every Stage
"We were lucky enough to be introduced to Catalina Maya Rendon, a lead researcher in the lab of Blanca Jiménez Cisneros, who is widely considered to be one of the world's foremost authorities on the removal of micro-organisms from wastewater", Auguste says. "They had trained an artificially intelligent system to identify Helminth ova and determine whether they were alive or dead. They had unable to prototype a microscope capable of working with the AI, however, which is where Alexapath came in."
ORO29 Accessible Healthcare with Louis Auguste
"What is the best way to improve healthcare outcomes?"
"What is the biggest mistake or pitfall to avoid?"
"How do you stay relevant as an organization despite constant change?"
"One area of focus that should drive everything else is:"
Lab in a pocket: This IoT device turns a standard microscope into a virtual imaging machine
"The company's telepathology system could cut short delay in diagnosis of life-threatening illnesses by expanding access to professionals in remote locations" says Palsana, who is also the hardware lead on the team."
Kill Time In Traffic By Diagnosing Cancer
"Already connected doctors at Justinien with volunteer pathologists in Florida, who have so far diagnosed about 80 cases by looking at slides online, Auguste says.
His next step is to pilot the technology with pathologists in Tanzania and have them review slides in their spare time, perhaps even while sitting in one of the country’s infamous traffic jams."
An ordinary microscope turns into a smart diagnosis device: how alexapath is democratising healthcare
"Allows any microscope to be used as a whole slide imaging device with the simple addition of a smartphone or ADA camera mounted on an eyepiece and a moving robotic stage. It is so simple to use that any medical worker—even one with no knowledge of pathology—can obtain a specimen, prepare a slide, and run a scan using Alexapath's Mobile Whole Slide Imaging app (mWSI)."
Qualcomm Announces Top Eight Finalists For Cycle I of Qualcomm Design in India Challenge II
"Smart accessories for microscope that makes any conventional microscope smarter - produce digital scan of slides, share it with peers, live consultation and archival of slides"
NYU Tandon Future Labs Member Alexapath Chosen For Presitigious International Venture Competition
"Alexapath is disrupting traditional microscopic imaging by turning smartphones into medical diagnostic and imaging tools at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. Traditional telepathology methods have relied on legacy solutions costing between $20,000 and $230,000. Alexapath's patent-pending technology offers a portable, rapid, easily accessible, and cost-effective alternative."
Could this "Skype for microscopes" change the game for cancer diagnosis in the developing world?
"Alexapath enables images of microscopic slides to be shared on the web through a low-cost kit that connects the microscope to a smartphone. Alexapath’s technology allows doctors to send lab images to pathologists for faster disease identification."
From Simple Microscope To Sophisticated Telepathology Tool
"Any medical worker — even those with no knowledge of pathology — can obtain a specimen; prepare a slide; run a scan using Alexapath's Mobile Whole Slide Imaging app (mWSI), which combines multiple micro-photos into a composite digital image of the whole slide; and transmit the data to a pathologist anywhere in the world."
