Google and the Department of Defense have developed an AI-powered microscope called the Augmented Reality Microscope (ARM) to assist doctors in identifying cancer.
The ARM uses artificial intelligence to analyze tissue samples and provide pathologists with information about the location and severity of cancer.
There are currently 13 ARMs in existence, and initial research shows promising results.
The ARM is designed to support pathologists in smaller labs who may not have easy access to a second opinion.
It is not meant to replace digital pathology systems but can help health organizations bypass the need for them.
The ARM is expected to cost health systems between $90,000 to $100,000.
