CUTTING-EDGE TECH

Computers are becoming more and more powerful, while at the same time getting smaller and smaller. So small, in fact, that people can now wear them on their head. Google Glass is a computer fixed to a pair of glasses. It communicates with the Internet and displays images on the wearer’s glasses, while allowing them to see through the images at the same time. The lens of the glasses has a display like a smartphone and responds to voice commands, which basically means that the wearer can ask their glasses for information. Pretty impressive! But, far from being just another trendy gadget, this technology has now entered the field of healthcare. In 2012, Google Glass and VIPAAR (Virtual Interactive Presence in Augmented Reality) were used by a team at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, USA, to perform one of the first virtual reality operations in the world. Thanks to this invention, this particular operation involved the participation of a doctor who was actually not present. Here’s how it worked: during the operation, the camera in Google Glass was constantly sending images to another doctor in Atlanta. The remote expert could then advise on the process, for example, by putting his hand over a special mat in his office to point to something, which could be seen by the operating surgeon.

The effects of this technology on surgery are remarkable. A remote expert is now able to guide a less experienced doctor, or help an experienced colleague in a complicated operation. As more specialised doctors will be involved in the decision-making process, this may mean many lives could be saved. The technology also enables doctors to see medical information on their glasses, such as a patient’s X-rays, a warning that a patient is allergic to an antibiotic, or live information, such as a patient’s blood pressure. It can also be used to broadcast an operation live, using remote video support, which allows doctors and medical students to watch top surgeons at work and learn new techniques. The great thing is that it all happens instantly, unlike with Skype or video communication, in which doctors exchange information, but not in an interactive way. Though it is still early days, the combination of Google Glass and VIPAAR is a significant advancement for the future of medicine and will soon be widely used. It will not only provide doctors with assistance, skills and education, but it will also reduce the possibility of human error.

1. There is a smartphone attached to Google Glass.

2. Google Glass can react to human speech.

3. One of the first virtual reality operations was carried out in Alabama.

4. Inexperienced doctors cannot take part in operations using Google Glass and VIPAAR.

5. Google Glass provides doctors with important medical details about a patient.

6. Google Glass is used with Skype.

7. The technology described in the text is already being used in many hospitals around the world.

8. Use of Google Glass and VIPAAR means fewer mistakes may be made by doctors.

2. Read the texts below. Match choices (A-H) to (1-5). There are three choices you do not need to use.
