This is Scientific American 60 seconds Tech, I'm Larry Greenemeier, got a minute?
這里是科學美國人60秒科技頻道，我是拉里·格林梅耶。
If you've seen Google's promotions for its Internet-connected Glass headset, you already know the technology will be great for showing off your rad mountain biking skills and skydiving exploits. The less daring among us will be relieved to know that medical workers are also interested in the technology—to improve patient care.
如果你看到了谷歌對自己設計的聯網式耳機的宣傳，你就知道這款耳機對顯示你的山地騎車技術和跳傘成績都有很好的指導作用。膽小的人會很欣慰地了解到醫學工作者也正有意發展此技術以提高對患者的治療效果。
MedEx Ambulance Service in Skokie, Ill., bought two pairs of Glass to test as a video consultation tool with ER doctors at a hospital they serve, according to the Chicago Tribune. The paramedics want to be able to get input from doctors about treatment options while patients are still en route.
位于伊利諾伊州斯科基市的助理醫生救護服務部門已經購買了兩步聯網耳機，用來和醫院方面的急診醫生取得聯系。該消息是在芝加哥論壇報上刊登的。護理人員希望在病人還在途中的時候就能夠從醫生那里得到有關治療方案的有關信息。
Earlier this year Rhode Island Hospital began studying Glass as a low-cost way to connect emergency room patients with an off-site dermatologist for a live consultation when needed.
今年年初，羅德島醫院開始研究這款聯網耳機作為一種低成本的方式建立急診室病人和不在場的醫生之間的實時聯系。
All well and good. But the Food and Drug Administration needs to give its blessing before Glass can be widely used in medical settings. Privacy is the big sticking point.
效果還不錯。但是美國食品和藥品監督局還沒有公開允許耳機在醫學領域的廣泛應用?；颊叩碾[私始終是個棘手的問題。
Thanks for the minute for the Scientific American 60 Seconds Tech, I'm Larry Greenemeier.
感謝收聽。
