Google debuted on Monday an AI capable of reading handwritten medical prescriptions.
According to the search engine giant, they are collaborating closely with pharmacists to develop an AI-assisted model for digitizing and deciphering such documents.
“This will serve as an assistive technology for digitizing handwritten medical documents by augmenting humans such as pharmacists,” Google told TechCrunch in a statement. “However, no decision will be made solely based on the output provided by this technology.”
Google also tweeted a demonstration of the feature’s simplicity, which is comparable to using Google Lens. View the sample below.
It may already have a solid appearance, but it is still a research prototype and Google has not committed to releasing it to the public.
