Google Glass Could Help Healthcare
June 12, 2013
Healthcare technology always has new ideas and the biggest change in recent years is the electronic medical record. Business Insider tell us that Google may outdo the EMR with its new glasses in, “Marc Andreessen Describes How Google Glass Will Revolutionize Healthcare.” Marc Andresseen sees Google as a magical device that can augment reality. He is so sure of new technology that he is ready to fund new startups and some of them will probably in healthcare. He points to a hypothetical situation:
“Think of a doctors ‘dealing with wounded patients and right there in their field of vision, if they’re trying to do any kind of procedure, they’ll have step-by-step instructions walking them through it. Don’t have to call anyone, it’s just there. That kind of thing, where we can view the Internet overlaid on the real world is transformative in a lot of different areas,’ he said.”
A visual step-by-step guide for surgery, but why stop there? Why not guides for everything in life, but then that removes the human element, which in turn will harm the services part of the economy, put us in a deeper recession, etc. Google Glass will have its place, but do not forget who serves whom.
