Digital Pathology: A Critical Approach to Its Bioethical Implications. Revista San Gregorio [online]. 2025, vol.1, n.62, pp.123-130. ISSN 2528-7907.  https://doi.org/10.36097/rsan.v1i62.3688.

Digital pathology has optimized histopathological analysis, but it also demands bioethical reflection in light of the new challenges it entails. The objective of this study is to critically analyze the bioethical implications arising from the implementation of digital pathology in clinical practice, with the aim of contributing to a more ethical, safe, and patient-centered medical practice, in line with the fundamental principles of contemporary bioethics. The analysis was developed through a reflective and argumentative approach, based on a critical review of academic literature and recent regulatory documents on digital pathology and bioethics. The findings show that, although digital pathology offers significant advances in diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, its implementation raises bioethical challenges related to process transparency, data security, equitable access, and changes in the pathologist's role and responsibilities. It is concluded that the ethical integration of digital pathology requires the creation of clear regulatory frameworks in the immediate future, ongoing professional training, and a sustained commitment to contemporary bioethical principles.
