This platform is a privacy-preserving, federated learning system designed to integrate whole-slide digital pathology images with matched molecular profiling and clinical metadata for improved diagnosis, subtyping, and prognostic estimation of gynecologic tumors. The architecture comprises local institutional nodes that retain raw patient data while participating in distributed model training coordinated by a central orchestration server. Each local node preprocesses whole-slide images into patch-level tensors, extracts visual embeddings via convolutional backbones, and processes molecular vectors (e.g., somatic mutations, expression summaries, copy-number measures) via a molecular encoder. A multimodal fusion module - implemented as an attention- based transformer - integrates image and molecular embeddings into a unified representation used by multi-task heads for classification (histologic subtype, diagnostic label) and regression (risk score). The federated learning controller aggregates encrypted model updates (FedAvg) and returns improved global weights without exchanging raw data, enabling cross-site generalization while preserving patient privacy. Explainability components generate attention maps and tile-level saliency (Grad-CAM style) linked to molecular features, providing interpretable morpho- molecular correlations to pathologists. The platform supports API integration with PACS / LIMS, conforms to privacy standards via optional differential privacy and secure aggregation layers, and is extensible to additional omics modalities or transfer / fine-tuning workflows for related tumor types. By combining multimodal fusion, federated training, and clinician-facing interpretability, the system accelerates robust, generalizable AI for precision pathology in gynecologic oncology.

Histology laboratories in hospitals and elsewhere require significant amounts of manual work. These labs also have to contend with rising workloads and increasing work complexity. Current labor vacancy rates are about 10-12%. and it has been predicted that the retirement rate in these work environments will be about 18-36% within the next 5 years. Within these labs, microscope slide cleaning in preparation for scanning and / or pathologist review is often a tedious task. Typically, the slide cleaning process requires manual application of cleaning fluids and wiping of slides with lens paper to remove dust, fingerprints, specks, and the like. Leaving these contaminants on the slide can lead to out of focus image sections which increases the risk of obscuring diagnostically relevant information. Thus, there is a need for improvement in this field.
