This article discusses the use of "smart glasses" in the field of endoscopy. Smart glasses are a new medical device that allows for remote assistance in healthcare settings. The glasses create a secure connection between a clinician or nurse and an expert who can provide real-time assistance during procedures. The study evaluated the use of smart glasses for first-time percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube replacement at a patient's home. The results showed that the procedure was successful in all cases, with the nurse sometimes requiring guidance from the remote expert. The study highlights the potential of smart glasses in promoting telemedicine and green healthcare in gastrointestinal endoscopy. [Extracted from the article]
