This device look like a regular pair of glasses and can be controlled with the voice. It is really easy to get familiarized with this technology, which allows more people to wear it and soon not to even notice that they are using it. This not only saves time for everyone that works in the hospital/clinic, but also allows more time to be spent on the patients care rather than having to search for the patients file through many others with the same name or last name. Likewise, this device is really useful, as Hagstrom states, because it provides the physicians and nurses with important information regarding the patient, such as “allergies, medication regimens, vital signs, and lab results” (Hagstrom). Many hospitals and medical facilities in general have already included this technology as part of their daily rutine, as a way of impoving not only the attention given to the patients, but also as a way of trying to product and study its …show more content…
The implementation of new and well-developed technology positively influences facilities that are dedicated to the care of either a small or a big number of patients. Nurses can dedicate more of their time to provide the best possible care, instead of worrying about tons of paper work that not only accumulates space, but also creates a problem every time they need to access a specific file. Especially for patients that require emergency treatments to save their lives, devices like Google Glass represent a big advantage on their favor. According to a study used by Fran Turisco in his article “Improving Nursing Care through Technology”, a high number of patients evaluate their stay at hospitals or clinics according to the treatment they received from the medical personnel. In this sense, if technology can add to the fact that nurses and physicians are able to perform their duties more efficiently; this would also benefit the way patients feel during the recovery time. As Turisco explains (page), “technology can play a key role in creating a [positive] environment” for the
