• Doctor Uses Google Glass To Live-Stream Surgery

[QUOTE]Google Glass is finding its way into operation rooms: A surgeon in Ohio recently became one of the first to livestream an operation and use the technology to consult with a colleague. On Aug. 21, Dr. Christopher Kaeding, director of sports medicine at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, wore Google Glass that has a frame similar to traditional eyeglasses as he performed surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee of a 47-year-old woman. The procedure was livestreamed to a group of medical students, who watched on laptops, and to Dr. Robert Magnussen, an assistant professor of clinical orthopedics at Ohio State, who watched from his office. During the operation, Kaeding consulted with Magnussen about what he was seeing during the surgery. Kaeding said he did not find wearing the device to be a distraction. One day, doctors may use the technology to view X-rays, MRI images or other medical information about their patient as they conduct surgeries, although this was not done in the current surgery.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/08/28/google-glass-to-livestream-surgery/?Intcmp=smarteramerica"]From the best source ever.[/URL] Seriously speaking, Google Glass could do a bunch of good. For example, it can help reduce error by allowing more communication between doctors during procedures without clogging up the surgery/ER room with personnel.
Holy shit....that's seriously cool. SCIENCE! :eng101: Makes me curious as to what kind of other applications Google Glass could offer the medical, or hell, any other fields.
If you ask me it would be pretty neat to see how Football match looks from point of view of the player himself - obviously, they would need some sturdier/less vulnerable/dangerous version of the device, but still.
Is it just me or does that video quality look like crap ?
And of course, I think that every first responder like a cop, fireman, and such, should have these on all times in action. It would serve as protection against unfair allegations for the good ones and as a proof and deterrence for the bad ones.

And yeah its a livestream, i don't expect a 1080p stream from something like that. (Google Glasses is connected to a Android phone to function.)

Google Glass seems like an awesome idea through and through.

Having been involved in the OR, I don't particularly see this being used for most operations. Maybe for surgeons that still haven't had a lot of experience or performing a risky procedure. The guys I was shadowing were telling me how this all becomes routine after a while. Harvesting an artery, cutting electrical pathways in the heart, stopping the heart, replacing the valve and all that seem really easy for these guys. They say most surgeons have it down pretty easy but they get some guys in there that are always way too jittery but they're normally the new guys. They either stay that way and burn themselves out or end up getting used to it and rocking to classic rock and talking about sports and what they want for lunch after the surgery while their hand is cradling a human heart. this is a cool application though.
I really dislike watching any type of surgery videos, it just gross the fuck out of me with the uneasy feeling of puking out blood.

Fuck, I can't wait to get one.
I honestly don't find this to be a very impressive feature of Glass. I mean, we got GoPros and shit that take way higher resolution video at faster framerates. I feel the Glass's true potential lies in it's ability to project information in front of you, as if it was a HUD. Though the camera is important, I don't see it as the primary purpose of the device. Like in the article where it says this: [QUOTE=]One day, doctors may use the technology to view X-rays, MRI images or other medical information about their patient as they conduct surgeries, although this was not done in the current surgery.[/QUOTE] This is neat none the less though, but he could've used other more dedicated hardware to do this. Whether or not Google sees it this way I don't really care. They'll market their cool product how ever they want, most cool stuff is probably going to come from the third-party app developers.
Just think about the sexy applications of google glass and livestreaming, you could ruin a girls reputation, in real time, at any party on Earth!
[QUOTE=AugustBurnsRed;42044817]That would never happen because 1) they'd rather spend their funding on stupid shit and 2) lots of cops would lose their job[/QUOTE] You realize that shitloads of cops are already being forced to wear cameras while on duty at all times, and plenty of misconduct has been caught because of it On the topic of google glass in general: Im not sure if it was in Wired or popular mechanics or something, but i recently read an article where someone had a lunch date with a Google Glass user And seriously, it did not have near of an effect on the discussion as the writer imagined it would. You can clearly tell when someone is using their device or when it's off. And if someone is going to use it while someone is talking to them, that same person would use their phone while being talked to so it doesn't make much of a difference anyway.

They were really nasty... but I went in and actually saw it for myself it was pretty normal. Really clean and precise. The worst part of a coronary artery bypass surgery was cutting the guys' chest and sewing up his ribs. Everything else was okay even seeing his leg bulge when they were getting the artery from his leg.
