The Internet Pathology Suite (iPath) evolved from a telepathology system into a global, open-source telemedicine platform. It now supports over 700 users and facilitates widespread case diagnosis and repository use.

Area of Science:

  • Digital Pathology
  • Medical Informatics
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • An early telepathology system at the University of Basel was established.
  • The system was developed into an open-source, Internet-based platform in 2001.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and growth of the Internet Pathology Suite (iPath).
  • To highlight its role as a Web-based telepathology platform for case discussion and diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • The Internet Pathology Suite (iPath) was implemented as a Web-based platform.
  • It enabled online case presentation, discussion, and real-time telemicroscopy.

Main Results:

  • After four years, the network has over 700 active users.

  • More than 6,300 cases and 39,000 images have been diagnosed.
  • The platform serves as a case repository for independent diagnostic groups.

    • Conclusions:

    • The project evolved from a small Swiss initiative into a global telepathology network.
    • iPath facilitates collaborative diagnostics and case archiving through a scalable, open-source platform.
