In this fifth and final episode of our mini-series celebrating Sectra’s 10-year anniversary in digital pathology, we reflect on the transformative journey that has brought us here—and look ahead to the possibilities that will shape pathology’s future.

Host Elin Abrahamsson welcomes two distinguished guests: Dr. Anna Bodén, MD Consultant pathologist and researcher at Region Östergötland, and Sectra’s CEO Torbjörn Kronander, for a forward-thinking discussion about overcoming healthcare’s growing demands and fully realizing the potential of digital pathology.

Together, they explore the next steps of digital diagnostics in pathology, including AI-powered tools and integrated workflows that span radiology, pathology, and genomics—paving the way for precision medicine. Dr. Bodén highlights her groundbreaking research into “human-in-the-loop” AI, emphasizing the importance of balancing robust technology with human expertise to enhance diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. Sectra CEO Torbjörn Kronander shares reflections on the evolution of digital pathology, advancements in collaboration tools, and what it will take to meet the changing demands of cancer care.

Will “digital pathology” one day simply be referred to as “pathology”? At what point does technology become so ingrained in clinical workflows that it transforms the standard? This episode dives into these thought-provoking questions while providing practical insights for healthcare providers navigating today’s challenges.
