Looking through the Crystal Ball—Feasibility of Tele-echocardiography Using Smart Glasses in Neonates.

This article discusses the feasibility of using smart glasses, specifically Google Glass, for tele-echocardiography in neonates. The study aimed to determine if novices, under the guidance of an experienced pediatric cardiologist through Google Glass, could perform appropriate neonatal echocardiography. The study found that the overall performance of participants was significantly higher when guided by Google Glass compared to unguided, with improved structure and quality scores. Additionally, the time taken for the guided test run was significantly lower. The authors conclude that Google Glass guidance by a pediatric cardiologist could optimize the performance of novices in echocardiography. [Extracted from the article]
