Google Glass & breastfeeding


"A new app for Glass allows mothers who are just beginning to breastfeed or having difficulty nursing to receive live, secure video support from a lactation counselor. The counselor can then observe the baby nursing in real-time from the mother's perspective and offer advice.

The app for the Australian Breastfeeding Association's Breastfeeding Support Project also includes a suite of instructional videos which can be played within Glass while a woman is nursing. "This provides women with the information when they need it most," a promotional video touts. "Mothers can push content from the learning portals on to Google Glass, giving them on-screen prompts and reminders.""



Hmm, wonder if insurance would pay for Google Glass? Ha!

Re: Google Glass & breastfeeding

  • Pretty sure that I couldn't trust that the site was secure enough to expose my breast. There are an awful lot of skeevy ass people out there that would love to hack a site like this.

    But the other side, I think that is a great tool for mothers. It is difficult to find help when you need it the most (ie. middle of the night).

    I am conflicted.
  • Yeah, there are obviously still A LOT of privacy concerns surrounding Google Glass as a whole.  But as a techie, I think it's pretty cool to see different ways people are using the technology and could see how it would be really helpful to some people.

  • Interesting, definitely some privacy concerns, but overall a really cool concept. 

    And I'd be curious about the insurance coverage as well. Lol You could at least use it as a tax write off though I would think. "Google glass - lactation support". Lol :)

  • Google glass might be the most Douche baggy thing out there because no one uses it like they're supposed to. I do like that they are trying supportive things, but like snapchat, I feel it is a ruse to see boobs.
  • I just want to know how people who wear glasses are supposed to be able to use Google Glass. Hmmm?? Cool concept, though! It would be incredible to get that support live right when needed without having to wait for an appt.

    Prescriptions lenses!  They have frames that are specifically designed to fit Google Glass and you can get an Rx for them.  You have to go to an eyecare provider that's part of their program (my eye doctor is actually one of them) and only one vision insurer (VSP) has partnered with them so far.

  • I would worry about security so I would never do this. I also don't think it would be particularly helpful in many cases. The hands on aspect was most helpful to me.

    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.
