-====== Introduction to PMA.control ======
+====== What is the PathoTrainer ? ======
-PMA.control is a dedicated tool for building, training, re-training, tuning and testing of **histopathologic tests or scoring systems**.
+The PathoTrainer is a dedicated tool for creating virtual spaces in which digital pathology education, data collection, and testing of pathologists with or without AI support are all facilitated.
-PMA.control is intended for use at departments of pathology, research institutes, universities and quality control organisations.
+PathoTrainer has two major components:
+  - The Training Sessions, which are only visible to invited users and are the virtual rooms in which cases can be viewed, forms can be filled, discussions can be had etc.
+  - The Content Management admin menu in which training sessions, images, etc are created.
-It is intended for use by students, scientists and teachers in (bio-)medical science, histology, cytology, histopathology.
-You can use it for
+=== Possibilities: ===
+PathoTrainer is used by:
+  * Pharmaceutical companies
+  * Pathology departments
+  * Research institutes
+  * diagnostic AI companies
+  * Universities
+  * and Quality control organisations.
-  * design, development and validation of new scoring algorithms/systems
+You can use it for:
-  * training and retraining a scoring algorithm/system
+  * Design, development and validation of new scoring algorithms/systems, including an AI/ML algorithm
-  * tuning for an existing scoring algorithm/system (e.g. HER2 scoring system)
+  * Live classes to broaden awareness of biomarker scoring algorithms
-  * ring studies and surveys
+  * Creating independent self-directed biomarker courses for pathologists
+  * Training and retraining a scoring algorithm/system
+  * Tuning for an existing scoring algorithm/system (e.g. HER2 scoring system)
+  * Ring studies and surveys
-PMA.control can guide you through the whole process from design to validation of a scoring method.
+**Suggested reading:**
-In the pma.control software four roles have been defined:

-  * user / trainee: you are a participant in a session that was setup for you.
+https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6927897/
-  * [[home_page_supervisor|trainer / supervisor]]: you are leading a session. You can guide all the participant through the training from start to end
-  * project owner: you can setup a project and sessions. You can add content to the project and facilitate sessions, from invitations of participants to facilitate analysis of all data captured during the sessions in your project(s).
-  * administrator: you are responsible for the complete setup of the pma.control software. You are responsible for all user administration including role-assignment.
