Trauma Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Survey-driven Evaluation of Patients Response to the Introduction of Google Glass in the Orthopaedic Trauma Clinic
Patients seen in the Orthopaedic Trauma clinic will be asked to consent for potential
video/picture recording using the Google Glass device during their visit with the orthopaedic
surgeon or resident.
The investigators want to record the patient's level of acceptance and response to this new
technology. There are two arms: Patients seen by a doctor wearing the Google Glass device and
those that will not be exposed. Both groups will be asked to complete a survey after their
clinic visit.
The device users (doctor) will complete a survey which will evaluate how effective this new
tool is in the Orthopaedic clinical setting.
Google Glass is a new low-profile wearable technology that allows physicians to record
hands-free video and pictures and to directly video link and communicate with other wearers
of this device. In addition to this, the device has a heads up display that is capable of
searching the internet on voice command. The device has the same functionality as a smart
phone with the benefit of being hands-free and wearable. The device is currently in a beta
testing period where "Explorers" are accepted by application to a program to use and assess
the device. The investigators have been able to obtain three of these devices.
The Google Glass device has the ability to help improve connectivity between physicians not
in the same locale, increase efficiency and provide better access to vital information used
in a medical and surgical setting. The device has clear teaching implications and will enable
academic physicians to disseminate information to more students and in situations not
previously possible. As the device evolves its potential to do more will likely develop
further. It is important to assess the impact of this rapidly growing field on patient
sentiment and wellbeing. As this is a very new device, very few studies have been done to
assess its application in Medicine and specifically orthopaedic surgery. So far only very
specific and small studies have been done with regard to immunochromatographic analysis,
pharmacology, forensic medicine and Parkinson's disease. The investigators are aiming to
assess the applications and patient perspective of this device on a much larger scale. The
investigators feel this technology and its future offspring could be polarizing with regard
to patient response. This could be an important element to consider in the future development
of its clinical applications.
There are no direct medical risks to the patient. No decisions regarding patient care will be
dependent on the device.
Study Objective Primary question: What is the patient's level of acceptance and response to
this new technology? Secondary question: From a doctor's perspective, how effective is this
new tool in the Orthopaedic clinical setting?
Design Patients seen in the Orthopaedic Trauma clinic will be asked to consent for potential
video/picture recording using the Google Glass device during their visit with the orthopaedic
surgeon or resident. Eligible patients will be assigned to one of two consulting rooms: one
with the Google Glass device, one without.
Patients will therefore have a 50.50 chance of encountering the Google Glass.
Any images or videos taken will not show the patients face, all measures will be taken to
ensure confidentiality. Both groups will be asked to complete a small survey on a locked
password protected iPad after their visit so as to record their acceptability of this new
technology in a clinical setting. Participants that experienced the device will also be
required to comment on their experience. The device user (surgeon/resident) will also
complete a survey so as to record their experience using the hands free camera and recording
device.
The information gathered will be saved on a password protected drive and will be used for
discussion and analysis between the investigators to help develop the potential future
teaching and clinical applications of the device.
