SEASON 2, EPISODE 10 - Michael Valante - Creating the Ecosystem and Infrastructure for Digital Pathology

Our guest is Michael Valante, Global Business Leader for Dell Technology’s Healthcare Division and Dell’s Chief Technology Officer for Digital Pathology, where he is a subject matter expert in the areas of enterprise imaging and pathology informatics. Mike is deeply focused on the healthcare industry and the intersection of medical imaging and information technology.

We’re going to discuss lessons learned from Dell’s involvement in IT infrastructure throughout healthcare and disciplines outside of pathology. Digital Pathology, as a field is, moving incredibly fast. It seems like we’ve hit an inflection point in the past year. We’ll discuss the trajectory and the velocity of the digital transformation.

Pathology certainly has different stakeholders – lab managers, hospital administrators, IT staff, the pathologists, other physicians. Roughly what are the concerns of each of these varied groups of stakeholders? And what is Dell’s approach to balancing both the technical and clinical aspects of digital pathology?
