How Google Glass Will Change Healthcare
The document discusses 15 ways that Google Glass could transform healthcare, including allowing doctors to use voice commands to dictate notes, enabling telemedicine through video calls, assisting with surgical training and resident education, overlaying medical information directly in the view of clinicians, improving communication for EMS and emergency situations, making patient rounds more efficient, enhancing remote patient care and monitoring, aiding with procedure analysis and self-assessment, streamlining nurse communications, providing multiple viewing angles for surgery, assessing acute patients and relaying information to ER teams, documenting patient care instructions, and providing faster hands-free access to patient records in emergency situations.

- 1. 15WAYS GOOGLE GLASS WILL TRANSFORM HEALTHCARE @ValaAfshar
- 2. Virtual Dictation Augmedix allows doctors to reclaim valuable time and energy, so they can focus on what matters most – caring for patients.
- 3. Telemedicine To be able to connect on demand, and have a synchronous video conversation with a physician.
- 4. Resident Training Taking a resident’s perspective while operating on a patient allows surgeons to understand how well the procedure is being executed.
- 5. Augmented Reality Philips Healthcare has provided a way to overlay information directly into the clinician’s field of view.
- 6. EMS Communications Provides direct field of view and communication between EMS staff and emergency department specialists for triage of acute stroke, heart attacks, and trauma out in the field.
- 7. Surgical Training Enables walking an audience through a procedure via direct point of view.
- 8. Improved Rounds Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center developed a custom information retrieval system that lets doctors scan a QR code on the wall of each room to call up patient information.
- 9. Patient Experience With Google Glass playing a growing role in healthcare, patients will get world-class care from the comfort of their homes.
- 10. Procedure Analysis Allows clinicians to review emergency triage and operating procedures for training and self-assessment.
- 11. Patient Communications For nurses, patient alarms and communications via Glass would allow a more natural workflow compared with traditional wireless phones and pagers.
- 12. Improved Visibility In the tight space of a surgical procedure, sharing perspectives from multiple viewing angels will improve real-time visibility and offer recorded playback for future use.
- 13. Acute Patients Innovative pilot project GRACE, by Cronos Group, shows how Google Glass can be leveraged to assess acute patients and relay info to ER teams at the hospital.
- 14. Patient Care Instructions Glass could improve records by logging what has been said to the patients and families during consultations.
- 15. Faster Access to Information Hands-free access to patient records, in areas such as the emergency department, will allow clinicians to retrieve info without taking their attention away from the patient.
- 16. Compliance With HIPAA-compliant app developers like Pristine and CrowdOptics streaming audio and video across the hospital network through Glass, compliance will not be an issue.
