Peace And Love Hospital, led by Dr. Beatrice Wiafe Addai, announced the delivery of the CoreView™ instrument that she and two other principal investigators from the United States, Professor Richard Levenson of UC Davis and Professor Eric Seibel of University of Washington, Seattle have developed over the last 2 years. CoreView allows the medical team to deliver a tissue-based diagnosis to a patient within 10 minutes after a biopsy procedure—while the patient is still in the procedure room. Currently, the process of obtaining a diagnostic image requires transportation time to get the specimen to a histology laboratory, after which many hours, days or weeks of processing are required.
The whole procedure typically should take at least a day or two, but unfortunately, it can also require days, weeks or months, depending on logistics and other factors. Pathologists using CoreView can render a diagnosis immediately on site, or the digital images can be delivered quickly to pathologists anywhere in the world to report. In the near future, AI tools can also be deployed to render rapid diagnoses as well. All of these scenarios will allow the patient to obtain rapid diagnosis, and a treatment plan can be developed for the patient as soon as the same day as the procedure.
Peace and Love Hospital is the first Hospital in the World that has this technology and the clearances that permits such Rapid Patient The CoreView imaging process does not interfere with downstream tissue imaging or molecular testing; as standard histology will always be available as a gold-standard check on diagnostic quality. Since CoreView diagnostics can be performed even in low-resource settings as well as hard to reach areas, it has the potential to make medical care more personal, efficient, and equitable.
