Evaluating the Effectiveness of Smart Glasses in Reducing Patient Care Time in Emergency Departments: Cohort Study From the Hangzhou Asian Games.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Challenges in emergency medicine include overcrowding, insufficient emergency care resources, and extended emergency department (ED) waiting times. These issues contribute to delays in treatment and unfavorable outcomes. This situation worsens in events with large crowds and particularly worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic. The integration of augmented reality (AR) smart glasses could potentially enhance patient care in the ED.

Objective

This study aims to assess the effectiveness of AR smart glasses in reducing patient care time in the ED during the 19th Asian Games and the Fourth Asian Para Games Hangzhou 2022 (HAG2022). The study specifically compares the prepreparation time (PPT) and consult response time (CRT) in patients receiving teleconsultations via AR
