How AI Can Find a Way Around Pathologist Shortage NVIDIA Blog

Ever since a Dutch cloth merchant accidentally discovered bacteria in 1676, microscopes have been a critical tool for medicine. Today's microscopes are 800,000 times more powerful than the human eye, but they still need a person to scrutinize what's under the lens. That person is usually a pathologist -- and that's a problem. Worldwide, there are too few of these doctors who interpret lab tests to diagnose, monitor and treat disease. Now SigTuple, a member of our Inception startup incubator program, is testing an AI microscope that could help address the pathologist shortage.
