Indiana Cancer Docs Try Out Glass in Surgery

February 20, 2014 By Dan Rosenbaum

Does the FDA know about this? CrunchGear’s got the story about a couple of surgeons at Indiana University using Google Glass during cancer surgery. While removing an abdominal tumor, they used Glass’s voice commands to call up and view MRI and x-ray scans.

This is the sort of thing that regulators and ethics committees get starchy about, but given the publicity that IU is putting out, one presumes they’ve touched all those bases.

If you want to learn more about this, you can contact Dr. Paul Szotek at his Google Plus page.
