To investigate the opportunities and challenges of using smart glasses at hospitals, I developed and evaluated a prototype of Wearable Personal Assistant (WPA) for orthopedic surgeons. The prototype was developed on Google Glass which was one of the state of the art smart glasses at the time of my study. I evaluated the WPA prototype in three different scenarios as follows:

1- Touchless interaction in operation room through head movements and voice commands

2- Telepresence sessions in operation room between a remote expert and a local surgeon

3- Mobile access to the patient records during ward rounds
