Madrid, June 21. – The augmented reality glasses Google have allowed several doctors participating from different parts of the planet in the first surgical operation in the world with this technology.
Google Glass is a device consisting of a camera, GPS, Bluetooth, a microphone and a small display that permits, for example, the surgeon to visualize vital signs without eyes off the surgical field.
chief of trauma clinic CEMTRO, Pedro Guillen, has placed Google glasses to transplant to a patient of 49 years chondrocytes of the knee, a type of cell found in cartilage.
Guillen, who has become the first physician in the world to operate with these glasses, explained to Efe experience.
“I placed the glasses, you just wear a pin, with an integrated camera that transmitted over the Internet to more than 160 people all that I saw and I have asked from California and even from Sydney”, has confirmed Dr. .
Guillen stated that it is a breakthrough “too large” for medical education, to prevent doctors have to move.
The device also allows the ability to collect patient information instantaneously or access your medical records in the cloud or “directions or advice from other doctors simultaneously,” said Guillen.
Google Glass, which also record videos in HD, has been developed also by a Spanish engineer, Julian Beltran, who said Efe that this is a technology that will revolutionize global medicine.
Thanks to the device, Dr. Homero Rivas medical school at the American University of Stanford, as well as watch the operation, has been able to give real-time instructions to Dr. Guillen.
“A Country Doctor Rwanda who has never faced a brain operation can query files or talking to another neurosurgeon not present and this is a revolution for telemedicine,” he told Efe Expert Iñigo, a spokesman for the clinic CEMTRO.
