RESUMO
Even long before it was published, many people regarded Google Glass as a Swiss army knife for nearly every task. There are some fields of application in which the best known wearable device could simplify daily life, such as car navigation or reading recipes. But does this also apply for medicine and health care? This paper will at first explain what Google Glass is and how it works. Afterwards, diabetes mellitus (DM), is discussed. Moreover, we try to answer the question whether a Glass-like device could support and improve people with DM. Therefore, several use cases for Glass-enabled chronic disease care are outlined.

A variety of substances contained in cosmetic products can lead to allergic reactions for certain individuals. The names of such substances are predominantly printed onto a product in small-sized expert language. For this reason, consumers often have difficulties to assess whether some of the ingredients might be harmful for them. Consequently, patients are exposed to a risk of buying a cosmetic product that might cause a minor to severe allergic reaction. A Google Glass-based software solution for consumers suffering from skin allergies is presented. It enables users to check cosmetic products in a mobile context and empowers patients to make informed buying decisions. In particular, the solution could help to avoid or reduce the risk for allergic reactions.
