Background: The digitalization of health care organizations is an integral part of a clinician's daily life, making it vital for health care professionals (HCPs) to understand and effectively use digital tools in hospital settings. However, clinicians often express a lack of preparedness for their digital work environments.

The selection of an optimal set of probed genes is crucial for capturing the spatial signals present in a tissue. This requires selecting the most informative, yet minimal, set of genes to profile (gene set selection) for which it is possible to build probes (probe design).
