seamlessly. These include –
Solutions Offered

4. Prescription Management
Once the bar code or QR code of a new prescription is scanned, the glass identifies the drug and asks
the patient to schedule a reminder for it. About 5 codes are included in the database for this purpose.
The data from CMS also displays a warning for possible drug interaction. There is a simulated reminder
setup which can be edited as per a patient's requirement. If the medication is taken on time, the patient
is rewarded with some points.

5. As the glass app scans a particular medication's bar code, the side effects of taking that drug are
displayed in front of the patient's eyes. The feature also displays food that causes such side effects.
It also displays the time when the drug was taken earlier.
Retrieving Side Effects

6. This feature works based on object recognition. A specific drug/pill is recognized based on pre-loaded
images in the app's database. As soon as the pill is recognized, data is flashed across the screen.
Identifying Drug

7. Log Food
This, too, works on object recognition. The app recognizes food and desserts. The items are recognized
based on the images loaded in database. Once the item is recognized, the glass displays the kind of
item it is along with calories. The patient/user can select the 'Alternatives' option to get suggestions for
alternative food items. When an alternative is selected, the user is given certain points. Furthermore,
the app also suggests some activities to burn the calorie-intake.

8. A patient can use this feature to get complete details about the points he/she has earned.
My Points

9. Go Healthy
This one offers suggestions regarding the kind of food the patient can take during the day. The app also
suggests websites offering health-related tips. The user can also view a specific health website. What's
more, the user is also shown some health-fitness related activities/classes which can be signed up for
from the app itself.

10. Results/Benefits
This Google Glass App allows patients to take medicine on time. There's no need for
anyone to remind them. The Glass does the task for them. Moreover, health-related
information can be browsed through right in front of the eyes. Most importantly, the app
allows patients to deal with chronic conditions in the most cost-effective manner.
