Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust Plans Smart-Glasses Pilot

Quotes

“We’re excited to be the first team to try the smart glasses out and can’t wait to take them out on our community visits. We currently spend a considerable amount of time writing up our visits to patients and these cutting-edge glasses will really help to cut down the time we need to keep for admin, supporting us to provide focussed patient care. The glasses have a thermal imaging feature, which I think will be particularly useful for us when we are examining wounds and these features are going to really help us provide the best possible care for our patients.”

“This is an incredibly exciting project to be involved with and is going to absolutely transform the way our community staff interact with patients; ultimately save them time enabling them to see more people each day. We chose the React to Red team for the pilot as we felt they’d see the most benefit in terms of a time saving. We hope that patients will support us as we trial this pioneering technology and will embrace it just as much as our staff have.”

“We’re proud to have partnered with NLaG to trial this technology in Community services. Aside from the clear benefits A.Consult will bring in terms of reducing the administrative burden on staff, we’re keen to explore the longer-term impact the glasses will have in terms of improving productivity. As the smart glasses learn from each patient encounter, it will automate key tasks currently performed manually giving staff time back to deliver holistic person centred care to each patient.”
