Background of the Industry
Smart glasses are a new intelligent product and have a huge development prospect in the next few years. Smart glasses refer to the general name of eyewear devices that have an independent operating system like smartphones and can realize various functions through software installation (Danielsson et al., 2020). It is a new type of wearable intelligent device which has been put forward in recent years and has a good development prospect. It is simple to use, small in size and portable to carry. It is regarded as a high-tech product of the future. Wearable technology has entered the medical field and will change surgery dramatically (Hiranaka et al., 2017). Realize the control mode of hands liberation, use voice, gesture, glasses to control the smart glasses, simplify the operating system (InfoLinker, 2021).
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 11th March 2020 (Cucinotta et al., 2020). Close distance will easily get infected in this Covid-19 as the droplets can aerosolize up to 4metres. Especially the healthcare workers will be at a higher risk of occupational transmission of Covid-19 (Guo et al.,2020). Recommendations are in place to limit medical personnel attending to the Covid-19 patient as a protective measure and to conserve personal protective equipment (Ranney et al., 2020). Wearing smart glasses can avoid close contact and minimize sickness for doctor and patients. Thus, a safer practical option will be to facilitate the virtual presence of key medical personnel in the ICU. On top of that, smart glasses offer a real-time and contemporary solution to mitigate the shortcomings and bridge the communication gap during the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides that, patients also being reviewed and steps in the examination, consultation and documentation processes were developed and compiled into a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manual (InfoLinker, 2021). By using Smart glasses, the specialist was able to holistically and continuously “see” the exact first-hand clinical information in real-time and in a “bedside” manner to advise and guide the patient confidently and accurately (Daggubati et al., 2020).
Through the research and analysis of relevant literature, we put forward research questions about the cost, effective and brand of smart glasses according to the viewpoints and methods of the article. According to these questions to carry out research. Through the investigation of these three aspects, it is confirmed that smart glasses can help surgeons to complete operations well and reduce the risk of surgery. Give patients a good operation experience, reduce the wound surface.
According to the above two tables, we put forward the hypothesis (Table 1) of this study. We will analyze the questionnaire and the existing relevant data. To test the operability of the verification of these hypotheses. Whether smart glasses can effectively improve and help surgeons perform operations. By using smart glasses can reduce the time visit, travel distance and cost by participants. These glasses however have been successfully utilised in business and industry to improve safety, productivity, especially in warehouse inventory management, high-risk jobs that required safeguarding while the junior workers required from a distance (Muensterer et al., 2016).
