Coauthored publications on the use of Google Glass AR to improve health care. When Google Glass was first announced, I came up with the early concept of SnapCap and worked out the feasible and study design with my long time collaborator Lauren Shluzas (who was also a mentor and advisor on my PhD dissertation at Stanford). My contributions were (i) overall concept development and UX (ii) technical consultation, (iii) user study design. Detailed implementation on the andriod side, and machine learning implementations were led by the talented collaborators Gabriel Aldaz , and Shantanu Joshi, with Dr David Pickham providing clinical guidance. The project was eventually turned into an SBIR funded company Bio1 Systems, led by Lauren as CEO.

The idea: SnapCap is a mobile hands-free application for capturing, tagging, and transferring digital images to a patient’s medical record through leveraging the camera and internal sensors of the Glass wearable computing device . Using the hardware elements of SnapCap, Google Glass and an Android smartphone application, users can conduct hands-free wound photography.
