Brief summary
The findings of our study will reveal that using smart glasses in the emergency department(ED) could facilitate patient admission. AR Smart Glasses offer the potential to enhance the effectiveness and speed of treatment within ED.
Detailed description
Study Design: This study will be conducted at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital (SRRSH), China. This study aims to compare the outcomes of two groups: the intervention group, utilizing the Augmented Reality (AR) smart glasses, and the control group, adhering to the standard conventional triage process without the AR tool, only using a two-way radio connection. Augmented Reality tool The AR tool used in this study will be a smart glasses manufactured by Rokid AR Studio(Hangzhou, China). It was Rokid glass 2 model released in 2020. The device operated on Android 9.0 and it connected to 5G connection with a bandwidth speed 30-mbps delivering a very low latency. The device supported real time screen sharing and therefore the data were collected from smart glasses including visual and audio with real-time two-way communications. Physicians at the hospital can access the information and video via a mobile app, enabling continuous monitoring of patients. The features facilitate healthcare providers at SRRSH and medical personnel in the HAG2022 polyclinic to discuss the patient's condition, exchange, and deliberate on the pre-hospital medical examinations of the patient. Participants: The study, will be conducted between September 13, 2023, and October 28, 2023, included the recruitment of all patients (older than 16 years old) presenting with acute illnesses who were admitted to the ED of SRRSH from the HAG2022 village polyclinic or the field of injury. The Cases with incomplete data and cases where the patients would be not found will be excluded from this study. Cases involving technical difficulties encountered by operators using augmented reality (AR) smart glasses and loss of internet connection will be excluded from the study.
