Their work consists of processing tissue and cell samples for medical analysis, combining manual technique with digital observation. AI already classifies cancerous cells on digital slides faster and with less fatigue than a human. The physical preparation of samples through biopsies and complex staining in the clinical laboratory is the manual component that partially protects the technician's occupation.

Su trabajo consiste en procesar muestras de tejidos y células para su análisis médico, combinando técnica manual con observación digital. La IA ya clasifica células cancerosas en portaobjetos digitales más rápido y con menos fatiga que un humano. La preparación física de las muestras mediante biopsias y tinciones complejas en el laboratorio clínico es el componente manual que protege parcialmente la ocupación del técnico.
