Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence Medical Waste Classification System and Method

Abstract

There are four categories of medical waste that cannot be mixed as this will cause serious problems suchas environmental pollution or infection. In the past, the classification of medical waste often involved a lot ofhuman and material resources to process, with workers at risk of exposure to infectious substances. Therefore, an augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) medical waste classification system and method were developed. This innovative medical waste classification system and method combines AR and AI identification technology to reduce the risk of manual judgment errors by clinical staff when handling medical waste.
