The Future of Google Glass Lies in Health Care According to its Inventor

August 22, 2014 by Raymond Hackney

Mark Sullivan of Venture Beat did a story on the inventor of Google Glass and his belief that the future of the wearable lies in health care.

From the article:

Google didn’t design its Glass wearable for medicine, but that use continues to be a hot topic of conversation among medical technologists and the investors who love them.

The”Augmented Humanity” panel at today’s Rock Health’s Health Innovation Summit spent much of its time on Glass-based medical apps. This is because one of the panelists was Dr. Babak Parviz, the former Google X director credited with inventing Google Glass and the glucose level-detecting smart contact lens.

Interestingly, Parviz now works at Amazon. He was asked several times what Amazon is doing in health care, but Parviz declined to say. Speculation centers on the company’s chances to jump into the space next year, possibly with a health platform like Apple’s Health Kit. Much more on that later.

In another story from Mark Sullivan of Venture Beat, he noted that Wearable Intelligence just raised $8.4 million for Google Glass for doctors.

From the article:

If anybody needs to get constant, real-time information in a Google Glass-like wearable, it’s doctors and other healthcare workers.

Healthcare is one of the two major markets being addressed by San Francisco-based Wearable Intelligence, which makes software for wearable data presentation used by people in the healthcare and the energy industries.

The company is now raising a $8.4 million in venture capital, according to a filing today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Wearable Intelligence has raised $7.9 million of the target amount and has been building the round since August 6, 2014.

On its website, the company lists as investors Google Ventures, First Round, Andreessen Horowitz, KPCB, Initialized Capital, and Subtracted Capital.
