The episode explores the concept of blind review, a process designed to eliminate hindsight bias by allowing medical experts to evaluate cases without knowing the outcome or the hiring party.

Stephanie Franckewitz, JD, MBA, founder of Blind Review, discusses its application in legal cases, particularly for digital pathology and radiology. By providing an unbiased expert opinion, blind review aids the defense and plaintiff parties in court, increasing the chances of a favorable verdict.

Stephanie outlines her journey from a medical malpractice defense lawyer to starting Blind Review and highlights the potential for digital pathology to revolutionize the legal process, reduce bias, and improve case outcomes.

Collaboration with platforms like PathPresenter enables pathology slides to be reviewed efficiently and effectively within a legal context. This approach benefits both defendants and plaintiffs by ensuring objective evaluations and enhancing the credibility of expert testimonies in trials.
