Abstract: An augmented reality pharmacy system and method for assisting pharmacy personnel with health care-related tasks is presented. The augmented reality pharmacy system can reduce or eliminate common pharmacy fulfillment errors attributable to human error. The present disclosure improves pharmacy fulfilment error rates by providing image processing systems adapted to characterize prescription and drug related information to verify prescription fulfillment; incorporates augmented reality systems with pharmacy systems to provide enhanced fulfillment systems where real-world objects can be over-laid with virtual reality elements to provide additional pharmaceutical information to a user; and shortens the time spent by a user looking for a specific drug bottle in a maze of similar-looking drug bottles by incorporating wayfinding technology coupled with location based components.
