Abstract
Over the years, health disparities in medicine have continued to grow, and dermatology has been especially impacted, given the relative shortage of dermatologists in comparison to patient needs. Novel and disruptive solutions may be required to help improve patient care. In 2013, Google Glass was introduced, which is a wearable head-mounted display. The device is analogous to having a computer connected to your eyeglasses with one of the lenses serving as the screen. The technology has already been introduced for various applications within the medical field. We reviewed the pros and cons of this technology, with specific focus on dermatologic care, and discussed how Google Glass could potentially address current dermatologic health disparities.
