CEO Abhi Gholap will be present at USCAP for meetings and personal demonstrations of the On-Demand Digital Pathology suite of solutions. 

Keeping true to its mission statement, OptraSCAN has been working to make digital pathology affordable and accessible to all pathologists worldwide.

The third generation system, with faster scan times, will provide technicians and physicians access to images quickly and help keep their workflow moving at a steady pace.

This next generation system is being unveiled at $20,000 USD price and includes On-Demand Digital Pathology solutions IMAGEPath® image management and TELEPath™ telepathology (amongst others). 

“Our goal at OptraSCAN has always been to build a solution for the global pathology community that removes the bottleneck of price,” said Founder and CEO Abhi Gholap. 

Early this year Optra SCAN announced its mass validation and approval from the Government of India for use of its digital pathology system in research and medical settings.

Going forward, OptraSCAN is in the process of applying for a CE Mark for medical device clearance in the EU.
