About
Elizabeth A. Krupinski is a prominent researcher whose work sits at the intersection of telepathology, digital pathology, and telehealth, with particular expertise in evaluating and advancing remote diagnostic technologies. Her foundational contributions to telepathology emerged through rigorous studies conducted within the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she helped demonstrate the clinical viability of dynamic-robotic telepathology systems. Her landmark 1999 study analyzing over 2,200 surgical cases revealed that pathologists improved significantly in diagnostic concordance and efficiency as they gained experience with hybrid dynamic/store-and-forward systems — a finding with profound implications for training and deployment of remote pathology services. Krupinski has also contributed meaningfully to the broader conceptual landscape of the field, co-authoring work that reconciles competing telepathology system designs and traces the invention and early history of telepathology from 1985 to 2000. Beyond pathology, her 2011 work on designing telehealth systems for aging populations reflects a broader commitment to human factors and usability in healthcare technology. With over 300 cumulative citations across her most-recognized works, Krupinski remains an influential voice in shaping how digital and remote pathology systems are understood, implemented, and refined for real-world clinical practice.
