SEASON 2, EPISODE 21 - Gabe Siegel - Augmented Reality in Digtial Pathology

We've all seen it in science fiction movies and maybe somewhat in consumer tech culture with things like Google glasses, or Pokémon GO. Augmented reality – an enhanced version of the physical world through the use of digital visual elements - does it have a role in digital pathology? Gabe Siegel is the CEO and co-founder of Augmentiqs, a company that develops augmented reality and digital pathology capabilities for the existing microscope. Prior to starting Augmentiqs, Gabe worked for multiple medical device and digital pathology companies, focusing on marketing strategy and communications. Gabe developed the concept for augmented reality microscopy & microscope-based digital pathology. We discuss what exactly is augmented reality? What are the benefits - can it really save time and money?
