In what I see as a risky move by some doctors,Ten doctors at CHI Health Center in the Omaha city of Nebraska state in the US are using Google Glass – personal assistant tool to help them take better care of patients by reducing the cumbersome paperwork. Google Glass allows a remote scribe to take detailed notes for the physician –
allowing the doctor to provide more direct patient care, ketv.com reported on Saturday. The scribe delivers vital information like weight, lab work and blood pressure to the doctor through a projector, the report added.
“I had a hard time with the typing in the room,” a doctor said, adding, “For me, if I don’t look at a patient’s face, I would miss a lot of emotions. Now, I don’t even have to turn on the computer in the room.”
