The digital health space refers to the integration of technology and health care services to improve the overall quality of health care delivery. It encompasses a wide range of innovative and emerging technologies such as wearables, telehealth, artificial intelligence, mobile health, and electronic health records (EHRs). The digital health space offers numerous benefits such as improved patient outcomes, increased access to health care, reduced costs, and improved communication and collaboration between patients and health care providers. For example, patients can now monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure and glucose levels from home using wearable devices and share the data with their doctors in real-time. Telehealth technology allows patients to consult with their health care providers remotely without having to travel to the hospital, making health care more accessible, particularly in remote or rural areas. Artificial intelligence can be used to analyze vast amounts of patient data to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and provide personalized treatment recommendations. Overall, the digital health space is rapidly evolving, and the integration of technology in health

Google Glass is back as X Glass with focus on industry, healthcare – MassDevice

Google Glass was introduced by Google several years ago. Although creating great initial interest it did not create great market demand.


Google glass was the first implementation of a wearable video screen, quickly displaced by Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. Other hardware devices soon followed, POGOCAM  a video camera easily attached to any eye glass frame.

 Google (Alphabet) is reintroducing Glass oriented toward Health Care Applications, and Industrial applications.

 Google parent Alphabet (NSDQ:GOOGL) is relaunching its Google Glass smartglasses with a focus on industry and enterprise applications, including healthcare, according to a recent post from its moonshot subsidiary X.
In a blog post from last week, Glass project lead Jay Kothari said that Augmedix, a company entirely formed around Google’s Glass device, had been working with doctors at a number of different facilities to test and implement it system, which it refers to as a “remote scribe.”
The Augmedix system allows for automated note taking during physician consultations, according to the post, allowing for better patient interactions and saved time.
Doctors at Sutter Health and Dignity Health reported that the tech, powered through the Glass device, was reducing health record data entry time for up to 2 hours, and allowing for improved time management, according to the post.
X Glass has partnered with CHI Health, Christiana Care Health Systems, Dignity Health, Eastern Maine Medical Center, Klosterfrau Healthcare Group, Sutter Health, TriHealth and Trinity Health to test the Glass technology, according to its website.
The company has also partnered with medical telepresence developers Hodei Tech and SwyMed, neuroscience-based augmented reality developer Brain Power which aims to support individuals with autism, traumatic brain injury and others and Aira, a company developing assistive programs for blind and low-vision individuals.
