Brain Digital Slide Archive: An Open Source Whole Slide Image Sharing Platform for AD/ADRD Research and Diagnostics

The BDSA aims to democratize access to neuropathological data through a standardized, user-friendly digital repository. By integrating tools for privacy, data sharing, and machine learning, this platform will enhance understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and foster collaboration across institutions. As a federated open-source resource, the BDSA has the potential to transform digital neuropathology, driving innovation in AD/ADRD research and diagnostics.

Abstract

The BDSA aims to democratize access to neuropathological data through a standardized, user-friendly digital repository. By integrating tools for privacy, data sharing, and machine learning, this platform will enhance understanding of neurodegenerative diseases and foster collaboration across institutions. As a federated open-source resource, the BDSA has the potential to transform digital neuropathology, driving innovation in AD/ADRD research and diagnostics.
