Dr. Rafael Grossmann, of the Eastern Maine
Medical Center ,
is the first doctor to perform the first Google surgery in history. In fact, he
documented in real time a surgery to the stomach whilst wearing his Google Glass.
As testified in his blog,
Grossmann documented all surgery thanks to a Google Glass Hang-out after obtaining
informed consent from the patient and being sure that any details and private
information of the patient would have been revealed. The images caught by
Google Glass were projected via iPad screen, remotely.
“By performing and documenting this event, I wanted to show that this device
and its platform, are certainly intuitive tools that have a great potential in
Healthcare, and specifically for surgery, could allow better intra-operative
consultations, surgical mentoring and potentiate remote medical education, in a
very simple way.”
