Those glasses have been used in elderly care here in Denmark for quite a while. Nurses who treat wounds use a set of glasses to document the process so they don’t have to switch in and out of gloves a million times.

I wouldn’t too much about the big American advertisement companies getting a lead on it, considering how little they are trusted outside the US in anything related to enterprise.

Those glasses I mentioned are actually Google glass if I recall correctly, but with some completely different software because naturally you can’t use Google software to document patient data in the EU.

Given how much Apple is leaning on healthcare, they might actually be able to break into this market if they ever release their own glasses.

Are they breaking into healthcare in Europe?
I don't know how spread it is, but it has some presence in the UK it seems
