For a few hours now, this scenario has no longer been improbable since it is precisely the case in this case.Stanford University Hospital. The cardiology department of the complex embark on the experiment using the technology provided by CrowdOptic: teachers will be able to see on their smart health connected glasses what students (also wearing glasses) see during a surgical operation. This will allow better management of operations, and thus facilitate the learning of future doctors. CrowdOptic took the opportunity to reassure those most concerned about the use of data: streaming is completely secure, only the hospital will have access to it.

Here is what the CrowdOptic press release on this partnership: "This hope with this technology is that it will offer a paradigm shift in surgical training, especially in the highly complex area of ​​cardiothoracic training, where a major challenge is creating an environment in which an attending surgeon can provide direct visual feedback to residents conducting operations. "

As a reminder, CrowdOptic is part of the Glass at Work program launched by Google and announced in June, which saw 5 start-ups being supported in order to develop new uses for Google Glass. The other selected companies are APX Labs, GuidiGo, AugMedix and Wearable Intelligence.
