Google Glass may not have fared well among consumers, but it has found a role in the healthcare industry. Google said its workplace-targeted Glass Enterprise Edition helps people "to get a job done safely and quickly". The device is designed to be used by doctors who need to see patients at their desks or on conference calls. Instead of taking notes themselves, healthcare providers can wear Glass to keep records automatically and significantly reduce administration time. Glass said the technology can be used to "access training videos, images annotated with instructions or quality assurance checklists".
