A new virtual artificial intelligence (AI) platform for pathologists will debut at CAP25, September 13-16 in Orlando, to give pathologists experience with the technology.
The College of American Pathologists’ (CAP) platform, powered by PathPresenter’s technology, will provide CAP members a safe, simulated space to explore cutting-edge AI tools used in pathology. From image analysis to diagnostic support, pathologists can interact with models in realistic patient scenarios without impacting care.
“It’s no risk, no pressure. Just discovery,” said CAP President Donald Karcher, MD, FCAP. “This initiative is about giving pathologists a trusted environment to evaluate new tools and stay in control of how technology fits into pathology practice.”
Designed as both an educational tool and a discovery hub, the platform is set to become a go-to destination for pathologists exploring AI in real-world contexts when launched at CAP25.
“We wanted to give pathologists a space to explore how AI models can be used in real-world practice,” said M. E. (Doc) de Baca, MD, FCAP, CAP Council on Informatics and Pathology Innovation Chair. “This platform not only highlights the AI tools currently available and also offers a glimpse of what’s possible as we continue to investigate how AI can support and enhance the practice of pathology.”
The platform will feature a slate of AI tools for the pathology community to test drive, with participation from vendors across the industry. Pathologists will be able to engage with real models, not just screenshots or quick demos. It’s designed to meet the growing demand for meaningful, hands-on exploration of AI tools in a setting that supports learning and confidence.
“Pathologists are looking for more than marketing jargon,” said Rajendra Singh, MD, FCAP, co-founder of PathPresenter. “They want evidence. They want to see first-hand how these tools perform, what problems they solve, and how they fit into real pathology workflows. This platform brings together the best of both worlds: innovative AI models and expert users who know how to critically evaluate them.”
The initiative is guided by CAP leaders at the forefront of informatics, AI, and digital innovation, bringing deep expertise and a clear focus on what pathologists need most from emerging technologies.
