CAP25 Debut: New AI Platform Offers Pathologists Safe, Realistic Simulation to Explore Cutting-Edge Tools

An Immersive AI Platform for Pathologists to Launch at CAP25 in Orlando Northfield, Ill. -- The College of American Pathologists (CAP) is set to unveil a new virtual artificial intelligence (AI) platform for pathologists at its annual conference, CAP25, held from September 13-16 in Orlando. The platform, powered by PathPresenter's technology, aims to provide a safe, simulated space where pathologists can explore cutting-edge AI tools without any risk to patient care. “This is a zero-risk, zero-pressure opportunity for discovery,” emphasized CAP President Donald Karcher, MD, FCAP. “Our goal is to offer a trusted environment where pathologists can evaluate new technologies and decide how best to integrate them into their practices.” The platform serves dual purposes: it acts as an educational tool and a discovery hub. At CAP25, it will introduce participants to various AI applications in pathology, ranging from image analysis to diagnostic support, all within realistic patient scenarios. Vendors from across the industry will showcase their AI tools, allowing pathologists to interact with real models rather than static screenshots or brief demonstrations. “The idea behind this platform is to provide a realistic space where pathologists can understand the practical implications of using AI,” explained M.E. (Doc) de Baca, MD, FCAP, chair of the CAP Council on Informatics and Pathology Innovation. “It highlights both the current state of available technology and the exciting possibilities that lie ahead as we delve deeper into AI’s potential to support and enhance pathology practice.” Rajendra Singh, MD, FCAP, co-founder of PathPresenter, underscored the importance of hands-on experience in evaluating AI tools. “Pathologists aren’t interested in marketing buzzwords—they need concrete evidence of performance and utility. This platform allows them to see firsthand how these tools function, the issues they address, and how seamlessly they can integrate into real-world workflows. It bridges the gap between innovation and critical evaluation.” The development of the platform has been guided by CAP leaders who specialize in informatics, AI, and digital innovation. Their insights ensure that the platform meets the specific needs of the pathology community, providing a comprehensive and practical approach to AI technology. About the College of American Pathologists (CAP) CAP is the world’s largest organization of board-certified pathologists and a leading provider of laboratory accreditation and proficiency testing programs.
