Google Creates New Feature Through Which Doctor’s Handwriting Can be Understood
Whenever anyone falls sick, he goes to the doctor for a check-up and has to diligently take the medicines and pills that has been prescribed for a specific number of days.
However, one of the biggest problems that many patients face is that they are unable to understand the doctor’s handwriting and have a hard time deciphering what is written.
It goes without saying that the handwriting of a doctor is extremely difficult to read where most of the patients either cannot understand or completely misunderstand the medicines and instructions prescribed, which happens more often than not.
To provide a solution, Google came up with a new tool at the 8th edition of the company’s annual Google for India 2022 event, through which people will be able to understand a doctor’s handwriting better.
It is called the ‘state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning model’ which can help users to identify and highlight medicines within handwritten prescriptions.
Google has designed this new feature in a way that will act as an assistive technology where handwritten medical documents can be digitized by augmenting human beings in the loop like, for example, doctors and pharmacists.
