The Digital Biomarker Revolution: How Large-Scale, Clinical-Grade AI Enables Novel CDXs from Histopathology

Presenter: Thomas Fuchs, Dr.sc. | Founder and Chief Scientific Officer, Paige

At NASA, we were confronted daily with Goldin’s modified adage: "faster, better, cheaper; pick two". In healthcare, it is becoming drastically more important with the development and validation of increasingly more complex biomarkers for prognostic and predictive purposes. This idea becomes even more relevant as multiple testing methodologies are required to generate all the information needed to make treatment decisions. Many hospital pathology labs are not equipped to perform all the recommended testing, necessitating the tests to be sent out, limiting patient access, and utilizing expensive testing with no promise of an actionable result.

Digital Biomarkers are drastically changing the companion diagnostic (CDX) landscape. These novel data-driven approaches build on Paige’s experience with large-scale clinical systems that are constantly validated on tens of thousands of patients. 

During this webinar, the presenter will:

  1. Discuss why now: What changed in Pathology and AI that allowed this breakthrough at this moment in time
  2. Explain hype vs. reality: What AI can deliver and what it cannot. Who to differentiate real evidence from hot air?
  3. Explore what will the future of digital biomarkers look like in the near-term and the long-term
