Google Glass in Medicine

Google Glass has the potential to transform nursing communication by enabling hands-free texting and alerts. This technology allows nurses to multitask efficiently, minimizing the spread of germs through direct contact, especially in hospital environments. Patients could send direct messages to nurses regarding their needs, streamlining care delivery. However, reliance on Google Glass raises concerns about technical malfunctions and privacy issues, such as unauthorized recordings during surgeries. Overall, while Google Glass offers great promise, careful implementation and oversight are necessary to mitigate risks.

  1. Google Glass in Medicine

  2. Communication • Google Glass could allow nurses to send and receive texts and alerts hands-free, so they can do more at once. While Google Glass voice commands and detection is a little hit or miss right now, it’ll eventually get better and when it does then nurses will be able to send error-free messages, talk to doctors.

  3. Hands-Free • Google Glass is considered a hands-free device. Hands-free devices are perfect for a hospital environment where there are viruses and infections can be spread through contact. Using Google Glass in a hospital would reduce the amount of germs that are spread through object/human-to-human contact.

  4. Patient to Nurse Notifications • Patients can of course already get a hold of their nurses, but things might run a bit smoother if patients could send text messages about what they needed to their nurses instead of just buzzing them in. So, a patient can send a nurse a message/notification about how they are in pain and then the nurse will receive it and can show up prepared for the situation.

  5. Negative side • If Google glass technology becomes more and more relied on, there are always the chances of bugs, hacks, glitches, and malfunctions. If a doctor is using Glass to assist a surgery and Glass glitches, well, things could go very wrong. Computers still make mistakes. There is also the concern of the camera/video feature. Doctors could accidentally take a photo or video during surgery without patients permission.
