Google seeks to facilitate reading for patients and avoid errors.
Google has announced a new function of Google Lens that will allow solving doubts about what is written in medical prescriptions , given the confusing handwriting of doctors on some occasions, who do not express in a very legible way what is the medicine or the protocol to follow for the treatment.
As explained by the technology giant at its annual conference in India , collected by TechCrunch , it is working with pharmacists to solve the problems posed by doctors’ handwriting and implement this aid in order to make it easier for patients to read and avoid errors.
Using Google Lens , users will be able to photograph the recipe or upload an image from the photo library. After that, the image will be processed, obtaining the medicines mentioned in the note as a result, as demonstrated by a Google executive in the presentation itself.
However, the company has expressed that it is an assistive technology and that no decision will be made based solely on the result provided by the Google Lens technology . Also, it is still unknown when it plans to launch this new feature.
Google pays attention to India
Google ‘s annual conference in India is the event that the company dedicates to the South Asian market. Thus, he has highlighted in his official blog that India is where the largest number of Google Lens users in the world live.
In addition, the American company also announced that it is working on an AI model that will handle more than a hundred Indian languages, completing the country’s dialects and thus boosting the use of the Internet.
