Abstract:
Digital pathology, supported by the government, is experiencing significant growth in France. However, the digitization of surgical pathology laboratory's activity requires heavy investment in equipment that is particularly energy-intensive and consumes valuable mineral resources. To limit the enviromental impact of digital technology and based on a recent publication, the TEAP collective offers some practical and eco-friendly recommendations regarding: (1) the scope of digitization; (2) equipment; (3) data storage; and (4) remote work. These recommendations are aimed at all professionals in the field, both users and industry players, to make digital pathology an eco-responsible, collaborative, and ethical revolution.
