   Doctors Must Take Precautions When Using Google Glass
   

   Google Glass is finding its way into hospitals and clinics throughout the United States, and one start-up has decided to beat its competition to the punch with a new application for the device it claims is the first “wearable health record.” Videos, photos and notes are stored in the patient’s electronic medical record or in Box, a cloud-based storage and collaboration service and can be shared with the patient on request.

   Dr. Bill J. Metaxas, a podiatrist based in San Francisco, warned fellow physicians to take precautions before using Glass, such as obtaining patient consent and “locking down security settings.”

   Metaxas also said Glass is no more or less secure than tablet devices such as the iPad, which are routinely used in clinical practices. Metaxas, who uses Glass in the operating room and in patient consultations, said 99 percent of his patients agree to the gadget, but it is still the early days and most of his fellow physicians have yet to adopt the technology.

   It is primarily used by the “Leading edge” minority, he added.

   Your Health Data in Google’s Hands

   Google knows you pretty well—but will soon know 10,000 people intimately. Its health spinout, Verily, has launched a new multi-year study called the Baseline Project to scrutinize spit, tears, stool, heartbeats, and genomes of American volunteers, who will all be asked to wear a special watch, have their sleep tracked, and give up health records as part of the exercise.

   The idea: uncover new predictors of disease among seemingly healthy volunteers.
