Google Glass could help medical professionals digitally sift through their files while staying with a patient all while paying a visit.
"We believe the ability to access and confirm clinical information at the bedside is one of the strongest features of Google Glass," Dr. John Halamka, a doctor at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center said in a post on his blog. "I believe wearable computing will replace tablet-based computing for many clinicians who need their hands free and instant access to information."
Four doctors who work in the center's emergency room, have tried out the connected eyewear over the last three months, and reportedly discovered that they can sum up information about a patient from facts gathered just by winking their eye, and bowing their head CNET reported.
"Boston is home to many techies and a few patients asked detailed questions about the technology. The bright orange pair of Glass we have been testing is as subtle as a neon hunter's vest, so it was hard to miss," Halamka said in the post.
Google Glass already has many capabilities from game playing to listening to music.
Google Glass music capabilities allows users to look for songs, review playlists, and hear music files in good quality sound with the device on their head.
Google launched its own version of headphones specifically made for the connected eyewear at $85 in December CNET reported.
Users can play tennis, a balance game which tests their ability to keep books on their head, clay shooter similar to the infamous duck hunt game, Match which evaluates how well one pairs patches with similar patterns, and Shape Splitter where shapes are broken up information on the blog said.
Google users can also send friend requests to three of their close acquaintances, and listen to music.
