Abstract

BACKGROUND: Substantial improvements in computational power and machine learning (ML) algorithm development have vastly increased the limits of what autonomous machines are capable of. Since its beginnings in the 19th century, laboratory hematology has absorbed waves of progress yielding improvements in both of accuracy and efficiency. The next wave of change in laboratory hematology will be the result of the ML revolution that has already touched many corners of healthcare and society at large.
