To boost the development of artificial intelligence in pathology, the Bigpicture project will first create the infrastructure needed to store, share and process millions of image files.

 

Secondly, it will address legal and ethical issues to ensure patient privacy and data confidentiality issues are fully respected.


The project is divided into four main aspects that concern the large-scale collection of data:

  1. An infrastructure (hardware and software) to store, share and process millions of annotated pathology images that can be gigabytes each.

  2. Legal and ethical requirements to ensure adequate usage of data while fully respecting patients’ privacy and data confidentiality.

  3. An initial set of 3 million digital pathology slides collected and stored into the repository to provide data for the development of AI tools.

  4. Functionalities to aid the use of the repository as well as the processing of images for diagnostic and research purposes.
