Pathologists play a key role in AI development for pathology – providing the expertise needed to bridge data and clinical application. To discuss this role and its importance in the development of computational pathology tools, we connected with Diana Montezuma, Pathologist and Head of the R&D Unit at IMP Diagnostics.

From your perspective, what is the most important contribution that diagnosticians bring to AI and algorithm development?

Pathologists bring essential clinical expertise and practical insight to any computational pathology project. Without their involvement, such initiatives risk becoming disconnected from real-world practice and ultimately failing to deliver meaningful clinical value.
