Computer vision to enhance healthcare domain: An overview of features, implementation, and opportunities

The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already brought several advantages to the healthcare sector. Computer Vision (CV) is one of the growing modern AI technologies. The distribution and administration of medications are about to change by using CV for medication management. This system scans pharmaceutical labels and keeps track of the process from delivery to administration using cameras, sensors, and computer algorithms. In order to assure accuracy in medicine delivery and dose, the system also makes it easier for doctors, nurses, and chemists to communicate. The computer vision-driven medication management system can significantly lower the number of medical mistakes that result from inaccurate or missing prescriptions, improper doses, or simply forgetting to take a particular drug. An exhaustive literature review has been done to identify work related to the research objectives. This paper is about CV and their need in healthcare. Various tasks associated with CV in the healthcare domain are discussed. Targeted healthcare goals through CV traits are briefed. Finally, the significant applications of CVs in healthcare were identified and discussed. Nowadays, CV has practical uses in healthcare. Its methods are widely used since they have shown excellent utility in several medical contexts, including medical imaging and surgical planning. The CV is used to study how to program computers to comprehend digital pictures. Numerous medical applications utilise this technology, such as automated abnormality identification, illness diagnosis, and surgical procedure guiding. CV is expanding quickly and has enormous promise to enhance healthcare. Some of the many CV applications in the healthcare sector include patient identification systems, medical picture analysis, surgical simulation and illness diagnosis.
