Abstract: A method and a system for managing a process of pathology examination may include an image-analysis module, configured to receive at least one digital scan of at least one pathology slide related to a pathology case, and perform at least one algorithm of image analysis thereon to extract at least one clinical feature of the at least one slide; a human-machine interface, adapted to present the at least one digital scan on a screen; a machine-learning based module, adapted to classify the at least one pathology slide to a classification of a set of classifications based on at least one clinical feature, the set of classifications selected from a list consisting a low risk classification and a high risk classification; and a report module, adapted to produce, in real time, at least one report data element comprising diagnostic information, based on the classification of the at least one pathology slide.

Abstract: A method for controlling the firing of an energy device when placed in contact with skin tissue includes providing an energy apparatus having a distal portion and configured to be fired; a controller configured to initiate the firing of the energy apparatus; providing a tip device having a proximal portion in contact with the distal portion of the energy apparatus and a distal portion for contacting the skin tissue; and, providing at least one sensor, the at least one sensor being normally unactivated but being activated when the tip device comes into contact with the skin tissue; and, activating the sensor by pressing the tip device onto the skin tissue, the activation causing the controller to fire the energy apparatus.
