Roche / Ventana

Problem:

The Roche Digital Pathology Solution, a benchmark system in the fight against disease, requires expert training to use effectively. Ventana wanted to reduce overheads, as well as provide an alternative to in-person teaching and minimise the transfer of huge digital files - all the while maintaining their high standards of excellence.

Solution:

We started the process by interviewing pathologists around the world (Asia, Americas and Europe) responsible for training around the world, to understand what, how and why they did things, as well as their needs and desires for an online training system

Through an agile sprint process of developing and user testing we developed a fully working prototype of the service, that digitaised the training solution using cutting edge image processing to allow Pathologists to train anywhere in the world. The prototype allowed Roche to track progress and to test key KPI’s to ensure pathologists would be sufficiently trained and supported to the current standard.

Result:

Development is ongoing and is scheduled to be scaled globally within the next 12 months. Roche / Ventana will soon be able to reach thousands more pathologists than before, vastly increasing the number of scientists dedicated to the fight against life-limiting disease.
