  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.
