In response, we present PATe 2.0, a scalable redeveloped web-application of the former PATe system from 2015. PATe 2.0 was developed using an agile, iterative process and built on a microservices architecture to ensure modularity, scalability, and reliability. It integrates a modern web-based user interface optimized for desktop and tablet use and automates key workflows such as whole-slide image uploads and processing. Performance tests demonstrated that PATe 2.0 significantly reduces tile request times compared to PATe, despite handling larger tiles. The platform supports open formats like DICOM and OpenSlide, enhancing its interoperability and adaptability across institutions. PATe 2.0represents a robust digital microscopy solution in pathology education enhancing usability, performance, and flexibility. Its design enables future integration of research algorithms and highlights it as a pivotal tool for advancing pathology education and research. |\n\nIntroduction  \nPathology education is undergoing a transformative shift, as digital technologies replace traditional microscopy and significantly influence how medical students learn.1,2 Developmentsin robotics and artificialintelligence (AI) are changing medical practice and emphasize the growing need for integrating digital solutions into educational environments.3 Conventional microscopy is dependent on small group access to physical slides. It faces challenges of variability, logistical constraints, and limited scalability, which are all inadequate for the needs of modern students.4,5 Conversely, digital microscopy offers many advantages. For instance, modern platforms provide access to high-quality, standardized slides, eliminating the variability and logistical limitations of physical slide handling. This allows students to review material independently on personal devices, which leads to higher flexibility and self-directed learning. Additionally, digital platforms integrate seamlessly with e-learning tools, incorporating annotation tools, interactive quizzes, multimedia resources, and collaborative features that enhance engagement and comprehension.5,6 In pathology education, the demand for digital solutions is well studied. Rodrigues-Fernandes et al.  \nsystematically reviewed that digital microscopy performs equal or superior to traditional methods in improving student outcomes.7 Correspondingly, Brochhausen et al. further reported a high demand for digital learning tools. Specifically, 91.9% of students were using these resources, primarily for self-study.4 During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for scalable, accessible learning systems was further emphasized when universities and students f","cbCaiagWP9Mzd9MY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiagWP9Mzd9MY","pdf",501106,"English","# Introduction\n## Digital microscopy and modern pathology education\n## Limitations of current digital pathology platforms\n## PATe 2.0 overview and technical direction","[{\"question\":\"What problem does PATe 2.0 target in pathology education?\",\"answer\":\"It targets the need for scalable, accessible digital microscopy that can integrate with educational environments and overcome limitations of traditional and existing digital pathology systems.\"},{\"question\":\"How is PATe 2.0 designed to support scalability and reliability?\",\"answer\":\"PATe 2.0 is built using a microservices architecture developed through an agile, iterative process, aiming for modularity, scalability, and reliability.\"},{\"question\":\"Which formats and workflows does PATe 2.0 support?\",\"answer\":\"It supports open formats such as DICOM and OpenSlide, and automates key workflows including whole-slide image uploads and processing.\"}]","Developing a smart and scalable tool for histopathological education—PATe 2.0 | PDF",1790706193,23]
