When the doctor sees with the eyes of the rescuer | The usARe Project, saving a life with smart glasses

“Rescue” technology: The usARe (Usability and Acceptability Study of AR Solutions for Emergency Rescue Support) project—an applied research initiative conducted by the Center for Digital Health and Wellbeing at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) in Trento and the Research and Development division of Certottica Group in Longarone, which concluded in recent weeks—has been launched with this objective.

Smart glasses, from accessory to life-saving tool

The idea of the project was clear: to exploit the potential of smart glasses by making them evolve from a technological and fashion accessory to a real life-saving tool. In fact, usARe continued the work of another project (S.O.S. – Smart Glasses to support emergency medicine and out-of-hospital urgency in mountain contexts), co-financed through PNRR and which had seen CertotticaGroup and EzLab engaged on the subject. The results of the previous initiative have been deepened in this new design initiative, which focused on devices coming directly from the consumer market to evaluate their usability and usability in operating conditions.
