In order to prevent the wrong drugs being injected into patients, US researchers have designed a small smart camera that can alert doctors in the event of a drug administration error.

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and the University of Washington in Seattle have developed the first ever wearable camera that uses artificial intelligence to help prevent medication administration errors in hospitals. The aim of the device is to automatically detect drug administration errors in real time, before injection, so that clinicians are alerted to the mix-up and have time to intervene before the patient is put at risk.
