Why wearable learning can improve the HealthCare

Google Glass has the potential to bring new possibilities to educators and students.

Probably, Google Glass are the best way for innovate the education system.

To begin with, the American healthcare sector is a great deal more than just the doctors and nurses we recognize as the face of the medical profession.

Also pharmacists, dentists and chemicals. Each of these health care professionals can receive enormous advantages. from this new method of teaching and learning, increasing the collaboration across each of them together.

The Obamacare law was long touted to be a job-killer before coming into force in 2010. However, it appears the expected downturn in healthcare employment is not forthcoming. Since the inception of Obamacare, nearly one million healthcare jobs were created and filled. Keep in mind that around 7.7 million jobs have been added to the American economy since March 2010.

A 20% of jobs growth is expected for medical billing and coding specialists in the near future.

This means that a degree is not the end of learning or implementation. Globalize the remote training applied to healthcare will be a must by two years, because legislation changes and increased development in other areas of technology.

E-learning within the medical sector is expected to increase accordingly.

A research from Ambient Insight demonstrates that US professional use of e-learning products will reach $7.1 billion by 2015. And, just as healthcare jobs are growing at staggering rates, so too is the use of e-learning products within the field. Within the healthcare vertical, e-learning is set to increase by 45.1% in the next year.

Looking also to the Middle East, we see that Governments, Private Schools and Corporates are beginning to use the wearable technology for improve the workforce and the success of employers.

By 2016, just in Middle East, E-Learning will bring a revenue of 560.7$B to companies that adopted remote training.
HealthCare providers can not afford to miss this opportunity.

Returning to Wearable Learning, wearable technologies can gather data — from the body of the wearer or from the environment — or provide information, or both.

Inconspicuous wearable devices could change the landscape of educational computing. Wearable cameras, for instance, allow a learner to engage simultaneously as observer, reporter, and participant.

Wearables represent an evolution in our relationship with computing and hint at a future of ubiquitous connectivity where the furnishings of our everyday life are imbued with sensors, processors, and information displays.

Google Glass allows people using actions, such as “Search”, “Tale a Note” (thanks the Evernote app), “Take a picture”, “Record a video”, “Translate” and other for integrating into teaching and learning activities.

LiveStream has openend to Google Glass, allowing users to stream their life for others. This is a great potential.

In terms of surgery, the 97% of MBBS students want to assist to a surgical intervention in real time. The data speaks for themselves: students consider real time as a value.

Successful implementation of wearable technology in education depends on many circumstances. We need to understand how Google Glass can change teaching and learning. The following questions should be asked:

• How to use Google Glass for teaching and learning?
• Which of subjects are appropriate for Google Glass?
• Are educators and learners ready to use Google Glass?

Currently we have a limited number of quantitative and qualitative researches on the use of Google Glass in teaching and learning. However, in our work, we tried to consider the various aspects and problems of using Google in different areas related to education.

However, Google Glass are already tested in the operating room.

As the things we own and wear acquire sensors, process data, and connect us beyond ourselves, they open new opportunities for us to see further, hear differently, and touch things we have never been able to reach, enabling a new self-awareness and an enhanced perception of the world around us.

Some researchers are studying new cultural aspects related with emergence of Google Glass.

In Silicon Valley, startups like Augmedix, who allows physicians to spend less time with their electronic health records and more time with people who matter most — the patients.

Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE) provides a preliminary analysis of how users are creating the cultural platform that will determine the success of Google Glass. Users are shaping the meaning of this product through two contrasting ideas: that Google Glass will empower users or that it will detach them from reality.

Last year, Bill Gates argues that Google Glass designed to literally integrate bodies more seamlessly with devices and more thoroughly into network infrastructures. The appearance of new Google Glass applications can help consumers to integrate real and virtual worlds. For example, game application can brings crowdsourcing to Google Glass and has real-world tasks.

What you can learn with Google Glass? Anything. Surgery, Medicine, Chemistry, Aeronautics, Cooking,Dance, Sales and so on.

As we can see from the examples, wearable technology still needs improvement, particularly regarding healthcare.

It’s all education experience. Integrate own studies with wearable learning can improve peoples abilities. This new method of learning guarantees more successful in their career.

Surgery Academy is developing a new method of training for tomorrow’s leading physicians and scientists.
