New AI Platform for Pathologists to Debut at CAP25, Offering Safe and Realistic Exploration of Cutting-Edge Tools

Immersive AI Platform for Pathologists Set to Launch at CAP25 in Orlando NORTHFIELD, Ill.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—The College of American Pathologists (CAP) will unveil a new virtual artificial intelligence (AI) platform for pathologists at CAP25, which takes place from September 13-16 in Orlando. This platform, powered by PathPresenter, aims to provide CAP members with a safe and controlled environment to experiment with cutting-edge AI tools used in pathology. "This is a zero-risk, zero-pressure opportunity for discovery," said CAP President Donald Karcher, MD, FCAP. "Our goal is to empower pathologists by offering a trusted space to assess new technologies and maintain control over their integration into practice." The platform will serve as both an educational resource and a discovery hub, allowing pathologists to explore AI applications in real-world patient scenarios without any impact on actual patient care. Participants can test models for image analysis, diagnostic support, and other critical aspects of pathology. M. E. (Doc) de Baca, MD, FCAP, and Chair of the CAP Council on Informatics and Pathology Innovation, emphasized the practical importance of this initiative. "We wanted to create a venue where pathologists can dive into how AI models can be applied in real-world practice. This platform showcases current tools and hints at future possibilities, as we delve deeper into how AI can enhance the field of pathology." Vendors from across the industry will contribute to the platform, ensuring that attendees have access to a comprehensive range of AI tools. Instead of relying on static screenshots or brief demonstrations, pathologists will engage directly with functional models, fostering a deeper understanding of their capabilities. Rajendra Singh, MD, FCAP, co-founder of PathPresenter, echoed the sentiment. "Pathologists are seeking more than just marketing claims; they want concrete evidence. They need to witness firsthand how these tools operate, the issues they address, and their seamless integration into actual pathology workflows. Our platform bridges the gap between innovation and practical application, bringing together robust AI models and experienced users capable of critical evaluation." The development of this initiative is led by CAP experts in informatics, AI, and digital innovation. These leaders bring extensive knowledge and a focused approach to meeting the needs of pathologists in the rapidly evolving landscape of technology.
