System and method for diagnosis and analysis of medical images

A wearable device headset for diagnosis and analysis of medical images comprising:

• a display module including a display for rendering images in the wearable device headset;
• a communications module for electronic communication between the wearable device headset and an electronic device remote from the wearable device headset;
• and
• computing electronics that is configured to execute the communications module and the display module;
• wherein the computing electronics is configured to:
• execute the communications module to access a laboratory information system with the wearable device headset,
• execute the communications module to obtain a digitized slide from an image store in the laboratory information system with the wearable device headset;
• execute the display module to display a plurality of views in the wearable device headset, a first of the plurality of views comprising a display of the digitized slide and a second of the plurality of views comprising information pertaining to and separate from the digitized slide;
• execute the communications module with the computing electronics to obtain one or more reference images with the wearable device headset from the image store in the laboratory information system;
• compare the digitized slide to the one or more reference images to render a diagnosis pertaining to the digitized slide based on the comparison;
• and
• execute the display module to render the diagnosis in the wearable device headset, and/or execute the communications module to transmit the diagnosis to a remote electronic device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium for diagnosis and analysis of medical images that stores program code which when executed by an electronic processor performs the steps of:

• executing a communications module in a wearable device headset to access a laboratory information system with the wearable device headset;
• executing the communications module to obtain a digitized slide from an image store in the laboratory information system with the wearable device headset;
• executing a display module in the wearable device headset to display a plurality of views in a display of the wearable device headset, a first of the plurality of views comprising a display of the digitized slide and a second of the plurality of views comprising information pertaining to and separate from the digitized slide;
• executing the communications module to obtain one or more reference images with the wearable device headset from the image store in the laboratory information system;
• comparing the digitized slide to the one or more reference images to render a diagnosis pertaining to the digitized slide based on the comparison;
• and
• executing the display module to render the diagnosis in the wearable device headset, and/or executing the communications module to transmit the diagnosis to a remote electronic device.
