“…The COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly transformed the healthcare system and virtual techniques are playing an increasingly important role in both education and clinical practice; during the times of limited travel, the first-time use of new devices was supported remotely for the first time by a more experienced proctor, either through RESS or through traditional Skype [ 7 , 21 ]. Smart glasses is another interesting new development that can be included into neurointerventional training: they offer a realistic impression while watching interventional cases for trainees and have already been described as a helpful tool to allow trainees to observe neurointerventional procedures in other centers [ 8 ].…”

As the number of neurointerventional procedures continues to increase, so does the need for well-trained neurointerventionalists. The purpose of this work was to establish and assess a systematic 3‑step approach to perform acute stroke treatment including simulator training and virtual supervision by remote streaming support (RESS). Five trainees (four men, one women) who have completed the 3‑step approach have answered an 11-item questionnaire (5-point Likert scale) in order to evaluate training step 1 (simulator). Furthermore, all trainees and one supervisor (female) answered a standardized questionnaire following the initial 15 consecutive thrombectomies for each trainee, corresponding to a total of 75 thrombectomies. The simulator training yielded learning benefits and confidence gain to perform MT on patients. The RESS approach facilitated the translation during the first independently performed thrombectomies on patients. In summary, the presented 3‑step approach increases the level of safety, as reported by the trainees and supervisor in this study and may enable an accelerated training of neurointerventionalists.

“…Of the 21 reviewed articles, 10 (48%) were conducted in the United States [18,19,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34], and 2 (10%) were conducted for surgical teleproctoring between high-income countries and lowand middle-income countries (LMICs), such as between surgeons in the United States and Mozambique [35] and between experienced surgeons recruited from the United States and Germany and novice surgeons in Brazil and Paraguay [36]. The remaining studies (9/21, 43%) were conducted in different countries, such as Spain [37], China [38], Germany [39], France [40], Italy [41], Switzerland [42], Malaysia [43], South Korea [44], and Republic of the Congo [45]. The reviewed studies were conducted to assess the feasibility, effectiveness, and user experience of smart glasses in supporting remote patient evaluation and care procedure operation in a particular medical domain.…”

Background Over the past 2 decades, various desktop and mobile telemedicine systems have been developed to support communication and care coordination among distributed medical teams. However, in the hands-busy care environment, such technologies could become cumbersome because they require medical professionals to manually operate them. Smart glasses have been gaining momentum because of their advantages in enabling hands-free operation and see-what-I-see video-based consultation. Previous research has tested this novel technology in different health care settings. Objective The aim of this study was to review how smart glasses were designed, used, and evaluated as a telemedicine tool to support distributed care coordination and communication, as well as highlight the potential benefits and limitations regarding medical professionals’ use of smart glasses in practice. Methods We conducted a literature search in 6 databases that cover research within both health care and computer science domains. We used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology to review articles. A total of 5865 articles were retrieved and screened by 3 researchers, with 21 (0.36%) articles included for in-depth analysis. Results All of the reviewed articles (21/21, 100%) used off-the-shelf smart glass device and videoconferencing software, which had a high level of technology readiness for real-world use and deployment in care settings. The common system features used and evaluated in these studies included video and audio streaming, annotation, augmented reality, and hands-free interactions. These studies focused on evaluating the technical feasibility, effectiveness, and user experience of smart glasses. Although the smart glass technology has demonstrated numerous benefits and high levels of user acceptance, the reviewed studies noted a variety of barriers to successful adoption of this novel technology in actual care settings, including technical limitations, human factors and ergonomics, privacy and security issues, and organizational challenges. Conclusions User-centered system design, improved hardware performance, and software reliability are needed to realize the potential of smart glasses. More research is needed to examine and evaluate medical professionals’ needs, preferences, and perceptions, as well as elucidate how smart glasses affect the clinical workflow in complex care environments. Our findings inform the design, implementation, and evaluation of smart glasses that will improve organizational and patient outcomes.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by a new coronavirus, has affected economic and social standards as governments and healthcare regulatory agencies throughout the world expressed worry and explored harsh preventative measures to counteract the disease’s spread and intensity. Several academics and experts are primarily concerned with halting the continuous spread of the unique virus. Social separation, the closing of borders, the avoidance of big gatherings, contactless transit, and quarantine are important methods. Multiple nations employ autonomous, digital, wireless, and other promising technologies to tackle this coronary pneumonia. This research examines a number of potential technologies, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, deep learning (DL), the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, and virtual reality (VR), in an effort to mitigate the danger of COVID-19. Due to their ability to transport food and medical supplies to a specific location, UAVs are currently being utilized as an innovative method to combat this illness. This research intends to examine the possibilities of UAVs in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic from several angles. UAVs offer intriguing options for delivering medical supplies, spraying disinfectants, broadcasting communications, conducting surveillance, inspecting, and screening patients for infection. This article examines the use of drones in healthcare as well as the advantages and disadvantages of strict adoption. Finally, challenges, opportunities, and future work are discussed to assist in adopting drone technology to tackle COVID-19-like diseases.
