The goal was to compare traditional inspection methods using a mobile application alone with a method using smart glasses integrated with a mobile application, focusing on time to complete documentation and user satisfaction.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>The study employed a quasi-experimental design with pre- and postimplementation phases, each lasting 90 days. Ten pharmacy technicians participated, utilizing a mobile application alone during the preimplementation phase and integrating smart glasses during the postimplementation phase. The primary outcome was time to completion of unit inspection documentation. Secondary outcomes included user satisfaction as assessed through a 5-point Likert scale survey.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The average time to completion of a unit inspection using a mobile application alone was 1 minute, compared to 4 minutes with use of smart glasses (P < 0.01). Survey responses indicated significantly lower user satisfaction scores for inspection efficiency, quality, and communication after integration of smart glasses. User scores in the comfort and interface categories did not differ significantly in the pre- and postimplementation surveys.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Integrating smart glasses with mobile application did not enhance the efficiency of pharmacy unit inspections. Further refinement of smart glasses technology is needed to fully realize its potential benefits.</p>","PeriodicalId":7577,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143966377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The guideline recommends sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) therapy for kidney disease with proteinuria, with or without diabetes, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) blood pressure control and proteinuria management, and statins to reduce the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
