The document outlines 15 ways that Google Glass could transform healthcare, including: 1) Allowing doctors to use virtual dictation to document patient encounters, freeing up time to focus on patient care. 2) Enabling telemedicine through video conversations between physicians and patients. 3) Allowing surgeons to gain new perspectives by viewing surgical procedures through a resident's Glass. 4) Using augmented reality and Glass to overlay patient information directly in the doctor's field of vision. 5) Providing communication between EMS and emergency departments to facilitate remote diagnosis of issues like strokes.

11. For nurses, patient alarms and
communications via Glass would
allow a more natural workflow
compared with traditional wireless
phones and pagers.

12. 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. 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. 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.
