The digital pathology market is the procurement of a digital image of a pathological sample for storage, access and diagnosis without reliance on tissue samples. This market combines software and hardware to scan the glass slides to make a pathology diagnosis via images on a new LCD computer screen. By improving the communication systems and integration of pathologists, technologists, and other health care providers working in pathology laboratories, academic institutions, and hospitals, digital pathology is a revolution in pathology diagnostics.

Digital therapeutics are auxiliary therapeutic interventions administered through software to mitigate, diagnose, treat, or even alleviate a medical condition without using a conventional drug. They can be employed independently or in combination with typical pharmacological remedies and can be implemented via smart applications or Web-based programmes.
