In a medical journal editorial, Weinstein outlined the actions that would be needed to create remote pathology diagnostic services.[3] He and his collaborators published the first scientific paper on robotic telepathology.[4] Weinstein was also granted the first U.S. patents for robotic telepathology systems and telepathology diagnostic networks.[5] Weinstein is known to many as the "father of telepathology".[6] In Norway, Eide and Nordrum implemented the first sustainable clinical telepathology service in 1989;[7] this is still in operation decades later.
