Mayo Clinic has launched Mayo Clinic Digital Pathology with the aim “to revolutionize pathology and accelerate medical breakthroughs,” according to a press release.
Additionally, “Mayo Clinic's expertise, de-identified clinical data, and its Platform architecture, combined with technical expertise and resources of NVIDIA,” are helping speed the transition. Mayo Clinic is also partnering with Aignostics.
Mayo Clinic addressed one of the challenges of pathology by “investing in digitizing its pathology practice and by scanning its extensive archive of pathology slides, as well as prospectively scanning pathology slides from current patients.” This resulted in the leveraging of “20 million digital slide images linked to 10 million patient records that incorporate treatments, medications, imaging, clinical notes, genomic data and more.”
A paper details how Mayo Clinic and Aignostics “developed a leading foundation model built on 1.2 million deidentified slides from Mayo Clinic and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin,” in under two months.
Finally, “The NVIDIA collaboration will create a first-in-class infrastructure for building and deploying foundation models to accelerate generative AI advances in pathology and beyond. With NVIDIA's healthcare-specific full stack computing architecture for artificial intelligence, NVIDIA Clara, Mayo Clinic is building models that will open new frontiers in medicine and lay the foundation for more personalized patient experiences.”
