Yes, but you can not use a smart phone while treating patients. If you're using Google Glass, you can't really not use it, especially if the reason you're wearing it is to help patients. I do believe this is a solvable problem (as do the people working on it, I'd imagine), but it hasn't been solved yet. Perhaps a sealant on the device plus a cleaning regimen will do the trick, but right now I'd put google glass somewhere near neckties (glad that that's been largely dealt with), lab coats and, well, pretty much anything that has places that will readily harbor foreign bacteria as a terrible thing to wear from room to room in a hospital. So I guess that given the state of things right now (riddled with such harbors), it's perfectly reasonable to give the technical benefits of glass a try. Maybe we'll come up with some good software that will save some lives. (This may seem like a retraction, but I was really just comparing Google Glass vs regular glasses in my original reply).
