Recognizing the utmost significance of the topic, Milestone introduces MacroVIEW, a cutting-edge mobile unit designed to document and digitize autopsy procedures. With MacroVIEW, users can capture images, videos and vocal descriptions, while also incorporating comments or notes to ensure comprehensive legal evidence. Furthermore, the acquired documentation is automatically stored within the patient ID folder. By connecting MacroVIEW with the LIS (Laboratory Information System), users unlock the capability for remote review and editing, enhancing workflow efficiency.

We had the opportunity to interview Dr. Graham Hetrick, renowned medical death investigator of Dauphin County (Pennsylvania, USA) and the central figure in the acclaimed TV series “The Coroner: I Speak for the Dead”. Dr. Hetrick, an avid user of MacroVIEW, emphasized the importance of creating digital documentation to solidify legal evidence, echoing the timeless wisdom that “a picture is worth a thousand words”. He provided insights into a typical day at the coroner’s office, highlighting the essential practice of meticulously documenting every detail to maintain the integrity of the chain of custody. Moreover, he underscored the versatility of MacroVIEW, coupled with its seamless mobility to meet user demands, resulting in significant streamlining of operational tasks and thus enhancing efficiency and timing.
