Advancements in wearable technology are revolutionizing many industries including health care and emergency medical services (EMS). Among these innovations, smart glasses (SG) have emerged as a potentially promising tool for enhancing prehospital care. These devices, equipped with capabilities such as augmented reality, real-time connectivity, and hands-free functionality, offer the potential to transform how EMS clinicians deliver critical care. However, SG presents a mix of benefits and challenges that must be carefully evaluated to ensure the technology meets the critical demands of both EMS clinicians and EMS patients. Dr. Maguire was awarded a quarter of a million dollar grant to examine the potential uses of smart glasses by military medics. In this session he will delve into the multifaceted implications of smart glasses for civilian EMS professionals, examining both the advantages and potential risks. Participants will gain insight into the following key aspects: * Advantages of smart glasses in EMS - Real-time consults - Access to critical data such as patient records and medical protocols - Just-in-time training with video libraries and AR overlays can provide step-by-step procedural guidance - Automated data collection. * Potential challenges and risks of smart glasses in EMS - Extended scene times - Over-reliance on technology - Patient privacy concerns - Impact on training - Cost. * Strategies for testing and implementing smart glasses. * Identifying areas where further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness and utility of SG in real-world EMS practice. This session is ideal for EMS leaders, clinicians, and decision-makers interested in leveraging innovative technology to enhance capabilities. Join us for an engaging exploration of how smart glasses can be both a game-changer and a challenge in prehospital care – and how EMS agencies can navigate this cutting-edge opportunity with confidence and foresight.
