An article recently published in the International Journal of Surgery shows the potential applications for Google Glass in the surgical setting, particularly in relation to training.
The authors of the study obtained a Glass device through Google’s Explorer Program and have tested its applicability in their daily pediatric surgical practice.
The Glass was worn by the attending surgeon daily for 4 consecutive weeks in a University Children’s Hospital. A daily log was kept, and activities with a potential applicability were identified.
