Episode 185: Jacob Guggenheim - Augmenting Grossing With AI: The Sentinel From Vistapath
Description
Jacob Guggenheim is head of engineering at Vistapath. Their innovative Sentinel is bringing AI to specimen grossing.
Jacob's background in bioengineering and robotics led him to join Vistapath
Vistapath's mission is to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the histology process, inspired by a real-world incident
The Sentinel is designed to augment human capabilities in grossing specimens, not replace humans
An accomplishment Jacob is proud of is the impact of the Sentinel in providing confidence to grossing technicians through photographic evidence
The future of Vistapath includes expanding the capabilities of the Sentinel to gross a wider range of tissue and leveraging data collected during grossing for downstream processes
AI is already transforming pathology, but the data bottleneck is a significant barrier that needs to be addressed for further impact
