The Problem
Traditional autopsy methods are limited for many reasons because they are invasive and have emotional impact on families, and lack data quality and re-usability for medico-legal, forensic and educational purposes
The Solution
GCS Agile has partnered with iGene Digital Autopsy to deliver a breakthrough digital imaging technology that replaces the scalpel with a scanner and allows pathologists to undertake a complete autopsy without the need to make a single incision. This partnership will further revolutionise forensic, medico-legal and educational solutions for the benefit of society.
The Benefit
iGene Digital Autopsy provides a better and faster alternative to traditional autopsy methods:
- Non-invasive which increases consent and number of autopsies performed eg. previously several religions prevented autopsies
- Effective data re-use and sharing for enhanced medical research and preventative health
- Dramatically improved data quantity and quality accelerates and increases accuracy (by 38%) of analysis
- Increases accredited pathologists by accelerating training
- Improves collaboration
- 10 minutes to take and process 25,000 images for virtual analysis
- Reduced emotional impact on families
- Allows unlimited analysis from one autopsy which significantly reduces the need for multiple examinations
