Use of Google Glass in Surgery & Medicine -- Dr. Rafael Grossmann Interview

Glass Update! Nooo! Not The Video!

My email to Google, earlier today, after learning that the new update removes the video call feature from Glass:

The removal of video feature is really a deadly blow for Glass in Medicine!

The use in Med Ed, Telemedicine, Tele-mentoring, Tele-consulting is Now NOT possible!

I only hope that this is restored in the next update. 

There's a very active, important, growing professional community that has been working around Glass in Healthcare, who depends on this particular characteristic of Glass.  

Please reconsider the decision of taking video away, or at least allow some user subgroups to choose whether to update. 

Folks like me and several others, from  Maine and Boston to San Francisco and Beyond our borders, must have the video option to be able to make Glass an important tool in Healthcare and Medical Education. 

Personally, Always trust that Google will do the "right and bright" thing! 

Video calls are essential if Glass is to be used as a professional tool (healthcare, technical disciplines, law engine cement, education, etc!)

I trust that Google is working on improving and optimizing a feature that certainly was "less-than-ideal" in the way it was working; at the same time, I wish we could keep using it until a better feature was already available, so that we wouldn't have to halt our experience and development of Glass in Healthcare. 

Also, Google should feel free to ask and "tap" the pool  of "expert", pioneer Explorers, to get our sense, opinion and even, maybe, recommendations before moving forward as Glass evolves!

I think that is one of the main advantages and "cleverness" of the Glass Explorers Program. 

Thanks! 

Respectfully.

Telemed from the patient's eyes!!

Excellent short video of patient's perspective with telemedicine. Just like #iipodteletrauma http://t.co/dHWCz1HZ or #GlassMed ( in the near future, hopefully)( See #GoogleGlass and future uses in medicine. Interview with Dr. Rafael Grossmann by @blogbrevity > http://t.co/0JL5enT10N ) Because ~80% doctors office visits don't require physical contact. Makes sense!
Virtual Dr's visit spares patient expense,travel time http://t.co/wd4AOT8G9c via @thewindsorstar

GoogleGlass and Privacy

GoogleGlass and PrivacyLet me start by writing that I think that GoogleGlass is an amazing piece of technology.  
I believe it represents the natural evolution of computing devices, and their adaptation to humans, of how we interact with them to make use of their, sometimes, almost magical capabilities; from the initial "room-size" computers, to PC's, laptops, iPods, smartphones, watches and now... a Glass....

Privacy is a right and protecting it, a duty, in any profession or human interaction. We should not blame the device for the consequence of its use, only  the user. No matter what the amazing features and possibilities to do wonders with a particular tool, it is up to us, how to behave when utilizing it.  

Pertaining Glass and specifically #GlassMed, I can't really understand the deep privacy concerns regarding its use at a Healthcare facility, by trained providers, for specific medical tasks.  Obviating the multiple cameras that continuously record and monitor our life, specially inside institutions like hospitals, there are smartphones, tablets, iPods, laptops, etc. , all with photo and video capabilities, everywhere we look.  It is not unusual to see people wandering the hallways, with a device in front of their humanities, isolating then from the physical world, but likely connecting them with a much more vast universe. I don't think we really get worried about someone recording us when we witness these events.  
Yes, #GlassMed could become (I think it will become) an ubiquitous tool in many hospital areas.  It will apparently help to detach the user from the device, except that it will do the opposite, in a good way.  It will allow for us, instant, smooth, un-disruptive interaction with the device and its capabilities, including searching all published human knowledge; immediate accessing, recording and sharing of important information; potential communication with VIRTUALLY any one, including experts in the field of interest, concerned patient's relatives or patient advocates, students, etc.

When using computer technology, It used to be all at your fingertips...NOW it is right in front of your eye, your RIGHT eye!
