IT Telehealth Center for
Telecytopathology
This is an overview for the

System
What is IT Telehealth Center for
Telecytopathology
The Center is an IT communication
medical device for telemedicine in
pathology/telecytopathology.
Telecytopathology means medical
diagnosis of microscopic specimens at
distance.
IT Telehealth Center Concept
The Center should provide telecytopathology
services to national and international customers
who may found these services more affordable
than to build their own infrastructure for cervical
cancer screening and other in vitro diagnostic
procedures amenable for digital imaging.
With 2 billion women at risk for cervical cancer
worldwide, the future of telecytopathology
concept is warranted.
Hierarchical system of
development
The Center is developing as a hierarchical
System starting from:
• Local Center
• Regional and State Center
• Global Center

The Three Components
There are three components of the local Center:
1. Image Acquisition Unit(s) (IAU)
2. Processing Center (Image Collection Unit,
ICU)
3. Image Evaluation Unit(s) (IEU)
IAU are located in remote laboratories and
hospitals. ICU is located in Maryland Local
Center and IEU are located in hospitals,
laboratories or offices in Maryland.
The Three Components, cont.
IAU is composed of a microscope with a digital
camera mounted on the microscope, and a
specific customized software for capturing and
transmitting microscopic images.
CPU, the Central Processing Unit, has servers
for collecting and storing microscopic images
and other data.
IEU is a computer where pathologists retrieve
images and other pertinent information and
provide a result that is sent back in the form of a
Report.
All information is secured.

MarkPap Global Networking Center
The Global Center will be responsible for
QC/QA, customer service for difficult and
rare cases, consultations, education,
control of other centers for compliance
with the protocols and polices, change of
protocols if needs require. The Global
Center will also be responsible for the
entire network, finances and business
deals. This Center will be located in
Maryland.
World Needs
Cervical cancer was the major killer of
women with malignant disease. This
history has changed for countries where
Pap test is available. However, because of
lack of qualified personnel, only 10% of
world women population is protected. The
WHO and all governments are looking for
affordable services to overcome this
shortage. Telehealth offers the best
solution
Benefits the Center brings to the
local community
• New infrastructure: a new facility and equipment
microscopes, digital cameras, computers monitors, servers
• New jobs: Immediately 5 with estimated growth to 25
• Retaining existing jobs: ( manufacturing remains in the
US)
• New services: 1 million revenue per annum from services
• Taxable income
• Clean technology – telemedicine
All these requirements are core values that President Obama is
promoting to help revive our economy and main criteria for funding
through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Cooperation
• The proposed IT Telehealth Center is
multipotential system that can be used for
research, IT software development and
application with services both in IT, education
and health area.
• The Center will cooperate with the government,
for-profit and non-profit entities providing to
them unique expertise for improving the quality
and efficiency of healthcare, health education
and health polices.

Future
•
The Center should provide telecytopathology
services to national and international customers
who may found these services more affordable
than to build their own infrastructure for cervical
cancer screening and other in vitro diagnostic
procedures amenable for digital imaging.
• With 2 billion women at risk for cervical cancer
worldwide, the future of telecytopathology
concept is warranted.
