Can AI-Supported Digital Microscopy Bridge the Diagnostic Gap in Primary Health Care?
A scoping review published in JMIR examined AI-supported digital microscopy at the primary healthcare level. The study finds that AI systems often achieve diagnostic performance comparable to expert manual microscopy across a range of sample types and show promise in expanding access to diagnostics.
