Google Develops AI-Powered Microscope to Help Doctors Identify Cancer Cells

Google is developing an AI-powered microscope called Augmented Reality Microscope (ARM) to help doctors identify cancer cells.
ARM overlays visual indicators like heatmaps on real-time images to make it easier to classify samples.
13 ARM prototypes exist, with more testing needed before use in clinics. Intention is to retrofit onto existing microscopes.
ARM expected to cost $90,000-$100,000, likely unaffordable for most local providers currently.
This continues Google's investments in AI healthcare tools to improve diagnostics and address personnel shortages.
