Abstract

Over the last decade, the practice of clinical cytopathology was dramatically influenced by the wide implementation of informatics and computer sciences into the laboratory workflow. New applications, especially in the field of Mobile Health technology, will enhance the opportunities for improvement in the field of cytological data management and sharing. In this chapter, the authors present a thorough research of mobile applications related to cytopathology and try to foresee applications that, if available on mobile devices, may benefit the modern cytopathology laboratory and its clients. Also, the feasibility of adopting mobile applications for inter-laboratory comparisons, proficiency testing and diagnostic accuracy validation is examined. Finally, the role of mobile applications for providing or/and enhancing the existing laboratory capabilities through educational training and other research activities is investigated. Economic or medicolegal aspects of the expected wide adoption and implementation of mobile applications in the field of Cytopathology will also be covered.
