  • Educating pathologists about the various companion diagnostics solutions, their application, and scoring mechanisms to ensure the accurate identification of the patient for the drug treatment plan.

Business problem

The client is a leading provider of analytical devices used in the diagnostics laboratories by pathologists. In partnership with leading pharmaceutical companies, the client had launched various companion diagnostic solutions

  • Educating pathologists about the various companion diagnostics solutions, their application, and scoring mechanisms to ensure the accurate identification of the patient for the drug treatment plan

  • Pathologists apply their skills while looking at the tissue samples under a microscope, hence developing a learning solution that would give them a similar experience

  • Images of stained tissue samples are multiple GBs in size and are a critical component of the learning so developing a digital learning platform that could provide secured access to pathologists around the world and allow management and viewing of very large image sizes

  • The pathologists require the controls that they have in a microscope and have the ability to annotate the images, get evaluated, and also share with others for collaboration and feedback


Solution

  • Focusing on human-centered design, the UX and UI of the solution were developed to match the learning journey of a pathologist

  • Digital platform was designed for the cloud to allow processing and management of large WSI images and to address data privacy and security requirements

  • The digital platform had the capability to host SCORM-compliant learning content, create suitable learning journeys, and manage the certification requirements

  • Intuitive web experience similar to a microscope with digital annotations, evaluations, and sharing was developed to accelerate adoption, learning and motivate continuous engagement

  • Data of all interactions in the platform was captured accurately for analysis


                                    


Value delivered

    • UX and UI that is aligned to the learning needs of pathologists, thus accelerating engagement and adoption

    • Image processing and delivery architecture to enable rapid processing and loading on the web

    • Scalable learning journey management for expansion into new solutions and geographies
