n the high-stress conditions of operating rooms, emergency rooms and intensive care units, medical providers can swap syringes and vials, delivering the wrong medications to patients.
Now a wearable camera system developed by the University of Washington uses artificial intelligence to provide an extra set of digital eyes in clinical settings, double-checking that meds don’t get mixed up.
The UW researchers found that the technology had 99.6% sensitivity and 98.8% specificity at identifying vial mix ups.
