The solution uses computer vision technology to enable the nurse to work faster and more efficiently than other comparable solutions. MedEye integrates with hospital information systems to retrieve information about which medications patients should be getting. MedEye then works with the nurse to make sure that all medication dosages are safely delivered to the patient. Without requiring the nurse to type information or use a computer, MedEye then safely documents all actions and completes the medical history of the patient. MedEye addresses the problem of medication errors in hospitals and healthcare institutions. It is estimated that 1 in 5 medications are given incorrectly in hospitals, causing one medication error per patient per day.
