Google is developing AI that will parse the handwriting of doctors

Google programmers are working to create an AI method that will recognize medical

prescriptions handwritten by doctors. The technology involves processing a recipe photo using Google Lens.

Researchers note that most doctorsappointments are written by hand, and they are usually difficult to read and even more difficult to remember. AI trained on a large number of prescription forms will be able to identify and even highlight drugs in handwritten prescriptions, said Manish Gupta, director of research at Google Research India. 

Even computers find it difficult to digitize recipes, because they are poorly structured, contain a large number of abbreviations and specific terms that only professionals can understand.

The researchers note that this technology will be used as an aid to pharmacists and patients. In the near future, Google promises to release a ready-made application in India.
