Google Glass was released last week. Although it is only limited to one day, Google still hopes to understand the market demand for its products through this smart glasses product that sells for $1,500. As expected, all of Google’s glasses were sold out on the same day. In February 2013, Google officially launched Google Glass to developers. Not only developers, but also ordinary consumers are very enthusiastic about Google Glass. Even the medical and health industry is fascinated by Google Glass. Since the release of Google Glass, it has been continuously developing its huge potential in the medical field. Now, Google Glass can change the future of medicine in three of the most incredible ways.
1. Enhance the sense of reality in surgery
In recent years, developers have developed a number of augmented reality (AR) medical applications for smartphones and tablets. Augmented reality technology refers to the use of cameras, motion sensors and wireless connectivity in the device to provide users with a true virtual coverage world. The algorithms used in this technique can also be used to identify objects, faces, and locations.
In August last year, doctors used the Apple iPad as a reality enhancer in a liver surgery. When the doctor aligns the iPad camera with the patient's body part, a virtual torso 3D model appears on the iPad screen, showing important structural images of the patient's torso, such as blood vessels. But the biggest drawback of this method is that the doctor's assistant must hold the iPad during the operation.
For voice-activated Google glasses that don't require two-handed operation, this problem can be solved. The Google Glass app can provide full-body image information. It is important to know that the number of surgical errors in the United States will occur at least 4,000 times per year. If all doctors can wear Google Glass, the number of surgical errors will drop significantly.
2. Electronic medical records and bedside care
Google Glass can also be used to organize electronic health records (EHRs).
In the past, electronic medical records were stored on computers. Now, as the hospital relaxes the restrictions on BYOD (Bring Your Own Device), the native EHR application of iPhone and iPad is gradually becoming popular. Electronic medical records have shifted from past desktop software to the cloud.
In the future, these applications will appear on the reality screen of Google Glass. In addition to wireless access to patient medical records, Google Glass is also able to scan QR codes on scanned wards, drugs, and equipment to instantly update and synchronize correct patient medical records.
The Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), a teaching hospital at Harvard Medical School, has been using Google Glass for several months to complete these medical operations.
The medical center said that in January of this year, Google Glass may have saved a person's name. At that time, the patient had a brain hemorrhage but was allergic to a drug. In contrast, the doctor used Google Glass to view the patient's medical record and find the appropriate treatment more quickly than looking for written and digital records. .
In October last year, Phillips Medical and Accenture, the world's largest management and information technology consultancy, showed the public the use of Google Glass in the operating room. Accenture will display the data from the "Philips IntelliVue" patient monitoring medical system on the screen of Google Glass and then synchronize the patient's vital vital signs with their electronic medical records.
In this way, the doctor no longer needs to remove the attention from the surgery, and can directly view the patient's vital signs data on the display screen of the Google glasses to find out the medical records of the patient.
In addition, Philip's medical business has revived due to Google Glass. Among all of Philips' business units, the medical business grew at the slowest rate, with sales growth of only 4% year-on-year.
3. Automated personal health care
The medical application of Google Glass is not only suitable for hospitals, but also for use at home. Google Glass can remind patients to take medicine, exercise, or track the user's all-day activities to check for signs of Alzheimer's disease.
There are already many similar iOS and Android apps on the market. For example, MediSafe's medication reminder application, Meds & Pills Reminder, ensures that patients can take their medications on time. Many fitness applications track users' activities throughout the day. There are also many applications that allow older patients to prevent and self-test in advance. Suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
If developers port these apps to Google Glass, patients will only need to look at the Google Glass display on their heads and be able to keep getting reminders.
By combining the long-range care potential of Google Glass with the sports tracking fitness band and electronic medical records, users can get a semi-automatic patient monitoring system. If this system is combined with existing smart home technology, more possibilities will emerge, and Google Glass can help Alzheimer's patients remember daily activities and issue unsafe food warnings for people with diabetes. Or remind people not to go out for a long time.
All in all, Google Glass does bring a lot of exciting possibilities for the medical industry, but at the same time, Google Glass faces many challenges, such as privacy issues, hospital budget issues, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for medical applications. Strict review system, etc.
However, investors in the medical technology sector should pay close attention to Google Glass, because in the medical and technical fields, Google Glass is a key node that has the ability to dramatically improve the lives of patients.
