HemoEdge is an AI-powered, whole slide image (WSI)-based education platform being developed, with consultant haematologists, laboratory scientists, and educators, to improve how blood cell morphology is taught, learned, and assessed in haematology and diagnostic laboratory settings.
It is not being developed as an examination preparation product for medical doctors. Its focus is the practical training and competency support needs of laboratory professionals involved in blood film morphology.
Through annotated WSIs, real case-based learning, expert-reviewed content, morphology quizzes, competency pathways and an AI tutor, HemoEdge helps users build confidence and consistency in blood film morphology.
Built with consultant haematologists, laboratory scientists, and educators.
HemoEdge is being developed around a structured, image-rich learning library designed to support practical learning, repeated exposure, and competency development. Learners will be able to study annotated cell images, explore illustrated morphology features, work through guided teaching modules and practise interpretation using WSI-based cases. Each asset is intended to support a clear learning purpose, from feature recognition to case-based reasoning and competency development.

/ The Problem
Current reality
Access
Learners often have limited exposure to a wide range of blood film appearances, especially rare or diagnostically important findings. HemoEdge helps widen access by providing structured, image-rich exposure to annotated morphology examples and WSI-based cases.
Teaching
Morphology teaching often depends on senior staff availability, local expertise and the cases present in the laboratory at the time. HemoEdge supports more consistent training by combining guided annotations, expert-reviewed explanations and case-based learning that learners can revisit repeatedly.
Competency and Progress
It can be difficult to know when a learner is genuinely ready to progress from observation to confident interpretation. HemoEdge makes progress more visible through quizzes, competency checkpoints, weak-area tracking and structured learning pathways.
/ How It Works
Explore a structured library of normal and abnormal blood cell features, with annotated images, clear explanations, common diagnostic associations and key points to help learners recognise what they are seeing.
Review WSI-based blood film cases with clinical context, FBC and other laboratory results, guided annotations and interpretation prompts, helping learners move from identifying individual features to understanding the full case.
Use the AI Tutor to clarify difficult features, explain case findings and guide revision from approved HemoEdge content. Then test recognition and interpretation through quizzes and competency checkpoints, while tracking scores, completed modules and weak areas so learners know exactly where to focus next.
/ Everything you need
From morphology fundamentals to complex case interpretation — all in one place.
Annotated morphology library
Normal and abnormal morphology, organised by cell lineage, features, and diagnostic associations. Each entry can include a definition, representative image examples, linked WSI cases, differential considerations and an explanation of clinical relevance.
Myeloid disorders
Annotated cases and morphology features within this module lineage.
Whole-slide case learning
Review WSI-based blood film cases with zoomable slide viewing, clinical context, FBC results, guided annotations and points of interest. This helps learners move beyond isolated images and practise interpreting morphology within the wider case context.
Teaching (guided) mode provides annotations, hints and explanations. Explore mode hides labels and prompts learners to identify features, interpret findings and select likely differentials independently.
Multiple question formats: identify the cell or feature, select the most likely diagnosis, match morphology to syndrome, perform a manual differential, interpret the film and write short case interpretations.
Progress dashboard
Track completed modules, quiz performance, weak feature areas and recommended next steps in one clear dashboard. HemoEdge helps learners see where they are improving, where they need more practice and how close they are to reaching the next competency level.

Staged progression from beginner recognition of normal morphology and common abnormal features to advanced complex cases, differential diagnosis and mixed abnormalities.
For laboratory leads, training officers and educators — visibility across cohorts and teams for programmes that need a more standardised approach to morphology training.
From early users and pilot partners
““HemoEdge gives learners a more structured way to see morphology cases beyond what happens to appear on the bench. The combination of annotated images, guided cases and progress tracking could make training more consistent across a team.””
