Research and Development of Injection and Medical Product Information Identification System Using Image Processing

Abstract

In medical field, forming surgical invoice is a very burdensome task. Additionally, manual counting makes a lot of incomplete billing due to human error. Therefore, the automation system has a strong demand. Surgical product identification device had been developed to make invoice automatically and it was introduced into large size hospitals. The current situation, however, is that the device has not been introduced into mid- size and smaller hospitals because of the large production cost and size. In this study, the system for identification of medical surgical product and substance distinction was developed with fewer components.
