Enhancing Healthcare with AI-Powered Headgear and Smart Glasses

Info

Category :Mobile App Development

Industry:Healthcare Technology / Telemedicine

Introduction

ARMS is a smart healthcare collaboration platform developed for use with RealWear headgear devices, tailored to practitioners and consultants. It facilitates remote live operations, medical consultations, and training sessions through hands-free group video calls. The app supports real-time communication, patient tracking, collaborative annotation, and data analysis, enhancing both clinical precision and medical education.

Client Requirements

The client needed a hands-free solution enabling real-time video conferencing via headgear with two-way collaboration and patient data integration. It also required annotation tools, voice-command controls, and flexible meeting scheduling to support both planned and emergency sessions.

Key features of Headgear and Smartglasses

01

Headgear-Enabled Group Calls

Wearable-based communication using RealWear; consultants or practitioners can initiate and join calls using voice commands.
02

Patient Engagement & Tracking

Each session is linked with a specific patient, ensuring proper documentation and operational tracking.
03

Planned & Emergency Sessions

Schedule upcoming consultations or start emergency (unplanned) meetings instantly.
04

Real-Time Annotation & Screenshots

Remote users can draw or annotate live on screen to highlight areas of concern; screenshots can be captured for review.

Challenges and Approach

  • Hardware Compatibility & UX – Designing an intuitive, voice-driven UI for headgear like RealWear without manual input.
  • Real-Time Data Sync – Ensuring low-latency streaming and annotation between remote users and the device wearer.
  • Data Security & Compliance – Managing sensitive patient data while ensuring compliance with medical data regulations.
  • Seamless Annotation & Interaction – Building a smooth and intuitive system for drawing and guiding during high-stakes live operations.

  • Wearable-Optimized Design – Developed a fully voice-controlled interface that operates efficiently on RealWear hardware.
  • Collaborative Annotation Tools – Implemented live drawing and pointer tools to allow remote guidance and explanations during sessions.
  • Integrated Patient Session Logging – Every meeting is logged with patient details and stored with screenshots and notes for analysis.
  • Enhanced Training & Support – Enabled remote mentorship, surgical walkthroughs, and expert support, reducing geographical constraints and improving learning outcomes.
