Although different smart glasses were examined in the process by literature review, in whole work, M100 was used as a physical product. In this research study, three research methods were preferred. These are semi-structured in-depth interview, expert focus group work and experimental study. 95 constructs were extracted from literature review and interviews by physicians. 15 most significant constructs were selected by physicians in the expert focus group work. At the end, 75 physicians answered a survey related with 30constructs. These constructs include the most significant design inputs of smart glasses for the expert group. The survey included approximately 50 questions. According to survey, screen ergonomic was the most preferred design input of smart glasses for physicians. The other four significant design inputs are technical support, privacy, adjustability and ease of monitoring medical data in order. To sum up, this study states that designers of smart glasses should consider these five significant design factors at the first stage of smart glasses product development.

An Evaluation of the Acceptability of Smart Eyewear for Plot Diagnosis Activity in Agriculture

“…Furthermore, the study underlined a strong negative impact of the wind on the voice recognition making use in outdoor conditions difficult. These voice recognition problems are reported in other research (Goken et al, 2016; McNaney et al, 2014). Moreover, users request voice commands in their native language (Romare et al, 2018).…”

“…Among the various acceptability factors of wearable technologies (Goken et al, 2016; Schall et al, 2018), two main factors seem to play a major role: the comfort and the user experience (UX). Comfort refers to the wearer’s perceptions, physically (through the concept of wearability, Siewiorek et al, 2009) and mentally speaking.…”

Nurse anesthetists’ experiences using smart glasses to monitor patients’ vital signs during anesthesia care: A qualitative study

“…A scoping review highlights that research concerning the clinical use of SG in complex care environments is limited [14]. SG require a tailored software (application) for each context and purpose [15,16]. HCPs' requests regarding both quality of use and desired VSs to make SG a tool for clinical monitoring of VSs and a part of surveillance has recently been described [17,18].…”

Outcomes of smart glasses: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Since their introduction to the market in 2011, smart glasses have become a notable topic in medical research. This body of literature predominantly includes various studies that examine their application in healthcare contexts [12][13][14]. To the best of our understanding, this systematic review represents the rst meta-analysis of the outcomes of smart glasses.…”
