A recent study led by researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine has shown that a novel wearable camera system leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) can detect medication errors during drug administration. The system, designed to be used in environments such as operating rooms and intensive care units, demonstrated a high level of accuracy, achieving 99.6% sensitivity and 98.8% specificity in identifying vial-swap errors.
The findings, published in npj Digital Medicine, shows that such a system could become an important safeguard in busy clinical settings to improve patient safety.
Previous studies have shown that roughly one in every twenty patients experiences preventable harm in clinical settings. Drug-related errors are a leading cause of these errors with as many as...
