-
Catalyse research in digital pathology. By providing access to high-quality data and tools, Bigpicture will empower researchers to find and use the best possible data for their research. New patterns or features of diseases may be discovered, opening up new diagnostic classifications. The Bigpicture community will also connect researchers with each other and the industry, inviting new collaborations and projects.
-
Enable development of AI tools for rare diseases and uncommon conditions, which are currently limited. The considerable amount of data offered in the repository will bring precision to complex diagnoses.
-
Accelerate and improve patient management, treatment, and ultimately patient health. Bigpicture will impact the entire value chain of research and drug development. Bigpicture will improve and speed up development of diagnostic tools, as well as promote smarter clinical trial design.
-
Clear the way for digital pathology adoption, by developing tools that aid user acceptance, providing ethical guidelines, and setting up the regulatory and legal framework necessary to foster innovation.
-
Deliver a repository powered by sustainability mechanisms. Bigpicture will create a platform that ties together pathologists, researchers, AI developers, patients and industry. Here, users can contribute to, as well as use, the existing data and tools. This way, Bigpicture will be driven by community benefit and ensure sustained impact. Furthermore, the two data centres hosting the Bigpicture infrastructure are 100% powered by renewable energy sources.
Impact
Bigpicture will open up a plethora of possibilities in the field of pathology:
