About
Dr. Elizabeth D. Settembre is a pathologist whose research centers on advancing diagnostic hematopathology through digital innovation. Her most notable work, "Live remote digital microscopy in peripheral blood smear evaluation: Intraobserver concordance and experience" (2018), addresses a critical bottleneck in laboratory medicine—the need for rapid, remote pathologist review of peripheral blood smears when abnormal cells or critical findings are identified. This study demonstrated that real-time digital microscopy (DM) can achieve high intraobserver concordance with traditional microscopy, paving the way for telepathology solutions that improve turnaround times and access to expert interpretation. While her citation count is modest, the practical significance of this work lies in its potential to transform routine laboratory workflows, enabling pathologists to provide timely consultations from off-site locations. Dr. Settembre’s contributions are particularly valuable for rural or resource-limited settings where on-site pathology expertise is scarce. Her research underscores a commitment to integrating technology with clinical practice, ensuring that even the most fundamental diagnostic tests—like the peripheral blood smear—benefit from the efficiency and accessibility of digital tools.
