Pathomation announces a new release of its cloud-based “My Pathomation” platform for digital pathology. My Pathomation was first introduced in 2019 as a low-threshold communication and whole slide image sharing platform. Today it boasts a community of 750 users.
“Many solutions in digital pathology today focus on high-end applications, like artificial intelligence (AI), leaving out a large population of users that want to start small and simple. The organic growth we’ve witnessed in the last 36 months has been great, and we wanted to hear from the users what they used My Pathomation for and if they had feedback for the next release,” says Rudy Hovelinck, Pathomation COO and product manager for My Pathomation. “The current audience of My Pathomation includes many educators (and their students), as well as research groups working on slide images, so we decided to add functionality to improve their experience.”

Anybody with a webbrowser can sign up for a free 10 GB My Pathomation account, start uploading slides to create slide (or case) collections and then share them to others.
The new release focusses on education. Users can now opt to share their slides with the community as public collections, resolving an important bottleneck for teaching facilities without access to scanners and scanned images.
My Pathomation adds the concept of meta-data tagging on slides and self-paced e-learning module “courses”. Access and user management is included.
Organizations that have already adapted a Learning Management System (LMS) such as Canvas or Moodle, can seamlessly use Pathomation’s plugins to integrate digital pathology content into the environment they are already familiar with. WordPress is supported as well.
“We chose to launch My Pathomation coinciding with the ECP 2022 conference in Basel,” adds Rudy. “The annual conference of the European Society of Pathology (ESP) offers an excellent platform to launch My Pathomation for organizations that need easy digital pathology on one hand, as well as to promote the availability of our CE-IVD certified PMA.core 3.0 image management system (IMS) for high volume routine diagnostic labs. We look forward to meet our users present at ECP and show them how we translated their input in the new releases of both products.”
Yves Sucaet, Pathomation CEO concludes: “The Pathomation’s product portfolio has become more mature with solutions for the full spectrum of digital pathology applications. Whether you’re an individual instructor at a small school, a diagnostic lab, or a global pharma company, we have the necessary tools in our arsenal today to help you, and a proven track record to go with those as well.”
