A Smart Glass Telemedicine Application for Prehospital Communication: User-Centered Design Study.

Background: Smart glasses have emerged as a promising solution for enhancing communication and care coordination among distributed medical teams. While prior research has explored the feasibility of using smart glasses to improve prehospital communication between emergency medical service (EMS) providers and remote physicians, a research gap remains in understanding the specific requirements and needs of EMS providers for smart glass implementation.

Objective: This study aims to iteratively design and evaluate a smart glass application tailored for prehospital communication by actively involving prospective users in the system design process.

Enhancing Prehospital Decision-Making: Exploring User Needs and Design Considerations for Clinical Decision Support Systems.

Background: In prehospital emergency care, providers face significant challenges in making informed decisions due to factors such as limited cognitive support, high-stress environments, and lack of experience with certain patient conditions. Effective Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) have great potential to alleviate these challenges. However, such systems have not yet been widely adopted in real-world practice and have found to cause workflow disruptions and usability issues.
