This event is being delivered in partnership with Roche Diagnostics.
This webinar focuses on the exciting advancements in AI-driven digital pathology. We believe this is a critical area for discussion, particularly how it can enable high-volume, high-quality scanning and ultimately enhance patient care through rapid and accurate diagnoses. Specifically, we feel that the EYE-CAN-AID study serves as a powerful and highly relevant example to illustrate the practical impact and benefits of these technologies.
This event will take place at 12:30pm and last approximately 1 hour.
