Submission + - New Smart Glasses Allow Nurses to See Veins Through Skin (computerworld.com)

Submitted by Lucas123
Lucas123 writes: Epson and Evena Medical today unveiled a new smart-glass technology that allows nurses to see "through" a patient's skin to the vasculature beneath in order to make intravenous placement easier. The Eyes-On Glasses System is based on Epson's Moverio Smart Glasses Technology, an Android-based, see-through wearable display launched earlier this year that allows users to interact with apps and games. The glasses use near-infrared light to highlight deoxygenated hemoglobin in a patient's veins and capture the images with two stereoscopic cameras. The cameras then project the vein images onto the see-through glass screens. The glasses can store the images and video and transfer them wirelessly to a patient's electronic health record, and they also come with dual built-in speakers for video conferencing.

Developed at the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), the vaccine proved successful in about fifty percent of the subjects tested and could lead to a human vaccine preventing the onset of HIV/AIDS and even cure patients currently on anti-retroviral drugs.

Except there are not many more.

Well, there are a few more...

- Having your network breached (and not telling your users until a week later) followed by a 24 day service outage.
- Breaching Weird Al Yankovic's contract and not distributing settlement funds.
- Suing an actor because he did commercials for someone else too.

I'd say by mega-corporation standards... they are just as sleazy as the rest.
