how google glass could support patients with diabetes
DESCRIPTION
Even long before it was published, many people regarded Google Glass as a Swiss army knife for nearly every task. There are some fields of application in which the best known wearable device could simplify daily life, such as car navigation or reading recipes. But does this also apply for medicine and health care? This work will at first explain what Google Glass is and how it works. Afterwards, diabetes mellitus (DM), is discussed. Moreover, we try to answer the question whether a Glass-like device could support and improve people with DM. Therefore, several use cases for Glass-enabled chronic disease care are outlined. The full research paper is available at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25160194TRANSCRIPT
