‘Pioneering’ new smart glasses to be trialled by nurses to help them spend more time with patients
New virtual reality-style goggles are to be trialled by nurses on home visits, in an effort to maximise the amount of time spent with patients, the NHS has said. Smart glasses will, in real time, transcribe appointments straight to electronic records, so the time spent doing administration tasks is reduced. In turn, more time will be available for nurses to carry out clinical duties such as checking blood pressure, checking wounds and assessing health needs. It is estimated that community nurses spend more than half their day manually inputting data and filling out forms. The goggles include thermal imaging to help assess how wounds and injuries have healed and will allow staff to share live footage directly with hospital colleagues to get a second opinion.

NHS director for transformation Dr Tim Ferris said: … [Read more...] about ‘Pioneering’ new smart glasses to be trialled by nurses to help them spend more time with patients
