1. A method of automatically assessing accuracy in an injection procedure performed on a live patient, the method comprising:
providing an injection system comprising:
a syringe, wherein the syringe comprises a plunger, a syringe body, and a needle, the syringe configured to inject an injectable product directly into an anatomical location of the live patient at a predetermined target location, an efficacy or safety of the injectable product depending at least in part on an accuracy of an injection relative to the predetermined target location; and
one or more sensors coupled to the syringe, the one or more sensors configured to measure data indicative of a position and an orientation of the syringe relative to anatomy of the live patient;
receiving and analyzing, by a processor in communication with the one or more sensors, data of the injection from the one or more sensors; and
outputting a warning in response to detecting an error in the accuracy of the injection based at least in part on the data of the injection.
