Google's new project ends the problem of not being able to read doctor's handwriting
Google reportedly is testing a new app that aims to reduce the number of errors caused by doctors' handwriting on medical prescriptions. Google collaborates with pharmacists to address this issue. The app, which is currently in the research prototype stage, lets users either take a picture of a prescription or upload it from their photo library, as reported by TechCrunch. After that, the app processes the image and brings to light the prescription's medications.
The app is not meant to replace pharmacists' judgment; rather, it is meant to be used as an aid. At the annual Google for India conference, a Google executive demonstrated the technology, but no decision has been made regarding the app's launch. The need to develop an app to understand doctors' handwriting has again demonstrated the seriousness of the situation and how it is a global problem.
