{LiveMicro}: An Edge Computing System for Collaborative Telepathology
2nd USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Edge Computing (HotEdge 19), 2019•usenix.org
… In this paper we present LiveMicro, a telepathology system that, leveraging edge
computing, enables multiple pathologists to collaborate on a diagnosis by allowing a
remote live control of a microscope. In such environment, computation at the edge is used in
three ways: (1) to allow remote users to control the microscope simultaneously, (2) to
process histological image and live video, by running algorithms that recognize eg, tumor
grades, (3) to preserve privacy creating virtual shared data views. In particular, we built the …

Abstract
Telepathology is the practice of digitizing histological images for transmission along telecommunication pathways for diagnosis, consultation or continuing medical education. Existing telepathology solutions are limited to offline or delay-tolerant diagnosis.
