At its annual Google for India event, which discusses the company’s next tech ambitions, Google said it is working with pharmacists on an AI-powered machine learning model that can decode messily written medical notes.

The tech company showcased the feature, stating that it analyzes physicians’ writing style and combines what it learns with known medical information.

Google did not mention when this feature would be released, but said it would provide updates on its development.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
