New Software Platform Streamlines AI Evaluation in Digital Pathology

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed STEP, a new software platform designed to streamline the operational evaluation of AI models in digital pathology. This modular engine facilitates prospective silent trials, allowing AI performance to be assessed on live clinical data without impacting patient care. STEP's design separates core trial orchestration from institution-specific infrastructure through adapter interfaces, supporting features like case discovery, inference submission, and failure recovery. It has been deployed at three institutions to evaluate EAGLE, an AI model for predicting EGFR mutation status from pathology slides. AI

IMPACT Enables more rigorous real-world testing of AI models in healthcare settings before clinical deployment.
