Help AI learn from clinical expertise.

Authorized, secure data

Depending on the track, images may include digitized specimens, microscopy, radiographs, ultrasound, clinical photographs or ECGs. Do not send physical biological specimens. Remove identifiers from pixels, filenames, DICOM/EXIF metadata, dates, labels, faces and other identifying features. Coding is not anonymization. Do not transfer re-identification keys.

Possession does not establish ownership or permission. Institutional authorization and an ethical and legal basis for research, training and potential commercial use are required. We agree a secure transfer route and verify de-identification before admitting data. Do not attach images to the initial email.

Clinicians who train teams

An assigned student group will work with each accepted clinician to learn pattern recognition, image labeling and data preparation. The clinician supervises labeling criteria, annotations and disagreements; students do not make independent clinical decisions.

The protocol defines reference standards, quality, duplicate cases, patient-level separation of training and evaluation, diversity, bias assessment and validation. Data acceptance depends on these requirements and project feasibility.

Authorship through contribution

Clinicians participate as scientific collaborators with an opportunity for authorship in resulting manuscripts when they meet contribution and editorial responsibilities: substantial contribution, drafting or critical revision, final approval and accountability. Images alone do not guarantee authorship. Contributions and author order will be documented transparently.

A shared 30% commercial participation

microscopIA offers a collective 30% economic participation in commercial exploitation of the relevant AI, distributed among clinicians contributing data to that project. It is not 30% per clinician, company equity or a guaranteed return.

Before data transfer, the agreement must define the calculation base (receipts and expressly agreed deductions), allocation among clinicians, covered products and licences, term, payments, reports, accounting verification, taxes, termination and institutional rights. No definition of net proceeds or unilateral deductions is presumed. Without a signed agreement, data transfer and the project do not begin.
