Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Dingfield et al using Google Glass to enhance communication education and provide feedback, assessing feasibility of using Google Glass in a simulated setting, and determine trainee perceptions of video recording of goals of care discussions is presented. Residents were ambivalent about whether Google Glass enhanced their educational experience during simulation, with 82% (14/17) reporting neither positive nor negative impressions. Forty-seven percent (8/17) of residents reported comfort with video recording using Google Glass in simulated settings, and 41% (7/17) thought they would be comfortable recording real patient-care conversations. Themes that emerged during the focus groups included concern that video recording of simulated or real-world patient encounters may change physician or patient behavior during these sensitive discussions, and concern with creation of a permanent video record to use for evaluative purposes.
