They shouldn’t be allowed in a work place setting withought prior acknowledgement and consent.
I can totally understand the reason to capture video and conversation during a medical consultation. As someone who has to see a dermatologist from time to time, I've had pictures taken.
The proper protocol is to get consent first, before donning the glasses or pulling out the camera.
And I bet that the perv glasses are not the best option for capturing data for medical analysis.
Especially since whatever footage is shot is certainly going to meta servers.
Insane to even think this is remotely okay.
ianal but that alone is probably a serious breach of hipaa for which the doctor should be slammed
edit: i just realised that article is not from the u. s. and a.
I see why places moving towards a full on ban of the Pervert Glasses.
If true he should lose license.
Smart glasses are COOL! Why are you so BUTTHURT about Docturs and Social Media giants with DISTURBING and NONEXISTANT Privacy Practices seeing your PRIVATE NAKED VIDEOS? Stupid LIBTARDS!
-People in this Thread!
so fucking sick and tired of the pervert glasses boosters.
these things belong on people with visual difficulty, the visual description service should be free to them, and the devices restricted otherwise. it's fucking gross that so many people think 'you have no reasonable expectation to privacy in the public' == creep cameras are cool.
fyi, there are laws in most states against voyeurism - in my state that creep behavior is a felony.

so fucking sick of the creepglass fanboys
Lemmy unfortunately does have a chronic sexism problem.
eh... there are sexist assholes everywhere.
I don't think it's nearly as bad as reddit was. but that's my own experience, ymmv.
I could use them to document, diy content creators would get some great close up work details ...hell even the OG google glasses are in wide use in warehouse logistics for their huds. There are use applications. But they're not advertising for that. They're advertising for abuse. And they're getting that demographic
do whatever you want with other consenting adults in the privacy of your home.
No one would say shit.
It's the upskirt downshirt creepshot assholes, it's the pick up artists and racist harrasment dickheads that should be beaten in the fucking street.
I feel bad for the people with vision impairment that these could genuinely help, but instead of making an accessibility tool, meta's chosen to make a privacy invasion tool that has some great accessibility uses, then try to use that as cover for the creeps.
it's all so fucking on point for the creepshow that is meta

I am confused. Why is this even up for debate? Why are we even putting up with people trying to debate this?

Pervert Glasses™️ by definition can not be HIPAA compliant.
The fact that this doctor even made the attempt should warrant a serious review of their conduct.
I used to work at a hospital and I have experience with doctors who firmly believe that their comfort and convenience tops HIPAA and anything else. I had to file several violations for doctors who wouldn’t stop using SMS instead of their pagers. Every time their excuse was “I don’t like the pager, it’s old.”There is a nonzero chance that this doctor didn’t even continue thinking about the consequences beyond “but I need to have the latest thing”.
