Remote Scribes for Clinicians – Google Glass and Sutter Health

Patients should receive their doctors’ undivided attention during office visits. Sutter Health is using smart glass technology to liberate doctors from hours of documenting and charting their patients’ health histories and medical conditions so they can get back to the work they love—taking care of patients.  Listen to Dr. Teresa Nauenberg describe how the use of Google Glass improved patient care and provider experience.

Sutter Health’s partnership with Augmedix, Fast Company’s 2016 Most Innovative Company in the Healthcare Sector, to connect patients and clinicians with remote scribes around the world, demonstrated approximately 2 hours per day in chart-documentation time saved and 96% patient acceptance of the technology.  Our research indicated that use of Google Glass did not create trust or privacy concerns for our patients (Odenheimer et al, 2018).
