What Are the Challenges of Using Cloud-Based Platforms in Histology?
Despite their advantages, cloud-based platforms also present some challenges:
- Cost: While scalable, the cost of cloud services can add up, especially for extensive research projects. - Data Transfer: Uploading large histological datasets to the cloud can be time-consuming and may require high-speed internet access. - Privacy and Compliance: Ensuring that data storage and processing comply with legal and ethical standards, such as HIPAA, can be complex.
