AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Purpose: Smart glasses are a kind of wearable technology that gives users sustained, hands-free access to data and can transmit and receive information wirelessly. Earlier studies have suggested that smart glasses have the potential to improve patient safety in anesthesia care. Research regarding health care professionals' views of the potential use of smart glasses in anesthesia care is limited. The purpose of this study was to describe anesthesia health care professionals' views of smart glasses before clinical use.
Design: A qualitative descriptive study.
Methods: Data were collected from focus group interviews and analyzed using thematic content analysis.
Findings: Three categories of participants' views of smart glasses were created during the analysis: views of integrating smart glasses in clinical setting; views of customized functionality of smart glasses; and views of being a user of smart glasses. One theme, striving for situational control, was identified in the analysis.
Conclusions: Smart glasses were seen as a tool that can impact and improve access to patient-related information, and aid health care professionals in their struggle to gain situational control during anesthesia care. These are factors related to increased patient safety.

Purpose: This study assessed objective performance, usability, and acceptance of artificial intelligence (AI) by people with vision impairment. The goal was to provide evidence-based data to enhance technology selection for people with vision loss (PVL) based on their loss and needs.
Methods: Using a cross-sectional, counterbalanced, cross-over study involving 25 PVL, we compared performance using two smart glasses (OrCam and Envision Glasses) and two AI apps (Seeing AI and Google Lookout).

In physical spaces, pointing interactions cannot rely on cursors, rays, or virtual hands for feedback as in virtual environments; users must rely solely on their perception and experience to capture targets. Currently, research on modeling target distribution for pointing interactions in physical space is relatively sparse. Area division is typically simplistic, and theoretical models are lacking.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of integrating smart glasses with ultrasound technology in enhancing the success rate of radial artery catheterization compared to traditional methods in adults.
- In a randomized controlled trial involving 222 patients, the smart glasses group achieved a significantly higher first puncture success rate (88.3%) than the control group (72.1%).
- Additionally, the smart glasses group showed improved hand-eye coordination and greater operator satisfaction, indicating their potential to improve procedural outcomes in clinical settings.
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.
