Could Smart glasses help nurses with disabilities?

 


"Nurses at Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust are trialling the glasses"

"Nurses are to wear virtual reality-style goggles during home visits in a bid to cut paperwork and free up more time to spend with patients."

"The glasses can transcribe appointments directly to electronic records and allow staff to share live footage to hospital staff to get a second opinion.

The aim is to reduce administration linked to appointments so NHS nurses can focus on more clinical duties.

They are being trialled in Northern Lincolnshire and Goole from next week.

Community nurses are estimated to spend more than half of their day filling out forms and manually inputting patient data."
