Google Glass in Pharmacy | Cathie Reid
Brilliant article Cathie!
I believe that Google Glass could represent the first medium by which pharmacy can now access the limitless benefits from the world of Augmented Reality.
In your business i could imagine Google glass interfacing with a tablet image library, which when connected to a visual identification app, would assist the Pharmacist to quickly and accurately scan/verify/snapshot the contents (for compliance purposes), access any clinical notes or drug information alerts prior supplying to the patient directly. In addition, in an aged care setting tablet identification, and access to dose administration information would no longer be a concern from nursing staff once armed with the google glass.
I wholeheartedly agree that in the pharmacy industry we place far too many limitations on how technology can transform our ability to improve patient care in Australia. I believe that when you pair a pharmacists expertise with technology it has the power to revolutionise the industry forever. We need more pharmacist’s like you trailblazing with innovative technologies like the google glass, and i look forward to following your Glass explorer journey.
