Another of those inventions, which
started out in comic books has just been announced. Evena Medical
just unveiled its new Eyes-On Glasses System that helps clinicians
see vasculature below the skin and deliver needles safely on the
first try. Hard to locate veins are easier to see and access.
The glasses are based on Epson's technology like Google Glass, that
can display graphics for the wearer to see, and has a pair of
forward facing cameras for 3D imaging along with illumination to
brighten the target. It uses multi-spectral lighting and the
infrared and near-infrared frequencies the cameras uses are tuned
for looking at vasculature.
In addition, the glasses include digital storage to enable
verification, documentation, and telemedicine capability to share
images remotely. The glasses also interface with hospital electronic
medical records systems for documentation.
