The Augmented Reality Microscope is not yet being used to treat patients, but Google and the Defense Department have been working on the technology for years. So far, 13 Augmented Reality Microscopes have been built.
When a clinician looks through the microscope the AI generates a bright green line that shows where the cancer is located. Additionally, the AI can identify the severity of the cancer.
The tool will cost between $90,000 and $100,000 for health systems to purchase. Researchers aim for the AI assistant to help clinicians deal with larger caseloads and workforce shortages.
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.
