Apologies if too far OT. I accompanied my wife earlier this week to two appointments with her docs. Both docs showed up wearing Google Glass, which is a New Thing at this clinic. This use case provides an audio feed through Glass to a human transcriber. I asked both docs about it, and they said that they'd started with video feed as well but patients were not comfortable with it. Both docs were happy to spend 10 minutes each answering questions about the new thing. Both docs were able to call up my wife's records on Glass, which saved their having to break contact with the patient, sit at the computer, enter passwords and start searching. Seamless. Both docs said they liked it because it kept them connected with their patients and offloads composing their after-visit notes. My wife liked it for keeping connection with her docs during the visits. I learned a lot from these two encounters. On its face, the clinic's Glass use is pretty primitive - stream audio to a human scribe and serve the patient's records to the doc's FOV. But I saw that this simple use greased the interactions to everyone's benefit. My wife found her experience considerably improved over earlier non-Glass visits.
