I can honestly put up with a lot, especially in a doctor's office. Hell it's the only place I'm okay with something up my ass. I would walk out if my doctor came in with those glasses. I will go and find a new doctor. There is no way I am okay with a personal camera in that exam room.

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

They need to be banned, agreed. But that doctor needs to have his medical license fully revoked, permanently.

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.

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!

The confrontation, shared in a video that has circulated on Reddit, centres on a simple but uncomfortable question: should a doctor be wearing glasses with a built-in camera while examining a patient in an intimate clinical setting?

I hate it when articles do this. Firstly, answer is NO. secondly there's nothing uncomfortable about the question itself because answer is a NO, third there's no need to frame a clear violation of privacy as a question. If it's not acceptable to pull out a phone and start recording in that situation, then it's clearly not acceptable to wear those glasses.

If true he should lose license.

They shouldn’t be allowed in a work place setting withought prior acknowledgement and consent.

It is really upsetting that we can't get actually good "smart glasses". Like, glasses that have a little screen projected on the lenses and can do searches and stuff for you on the fly, or display text like a script or something, or watch a video, or see your music playlist...

Why does everyone trying to make "smart glasses" feel compelled to include a fucking hidden camera?? And now it's even worse with the AI riddle surveillance state we are living in. I won't even be a little surprised to find out that Meta's pervert glasses are being co-opted by Flock to add even more cameras to their "safety" network...

My PCP wears Bluetooth headphones so that his notes are transcribed by his nurse. He always asks me if this is ok, and the device he wears is obviously visible. I can't imagine a world where your doctor would secretly spy on you. Fuck this noise.

There are two parts to this:

0. Ethics, a doctor would be expected to know better,
1. Reality, where eventually such things will just stop being 100% percent visible, and thus will happen again and again with impunity.

So, first, doctors shouldn't do that, second, ban or not, this will be happening all around us, no exit.

That seems like a HIPAA violation because it’s unknown eyes and ears in the exam room.

I see why places moving towards a full on ban of the Pervert Glasses.

Fucking mention that moron's name in the headline. Pussy reporters.

The tool that tried this is a monster, but I do feel sort of bad for the stock image photo models that get associated with the acts of these monsters. Like the dude in the photo could be totally chill, but is presented as though he is the pervert in the story.

I couldn't watch the tiktok because there were no subtitles so maybe I am missing something.

I don't understand how these glasses could be permitted in a medical setting. It's becoming more normal for medical offices here to record visits and use AI to transcribe the visit. Sure, there are concerns about those in terms of accuracy, and there is a risk of unauthorized access and systems failing, but there is a list of vetted products build to meet privacy and security requirements. Kinda the same way I am only permitted to use Copilot at work because the data is not sent back to be used in training models.

I don't believe Meta has any such programs or versions?

Yes, dipshits like that should be banned from the medical profession.

9 out of 10 doctors choose not to wear pervert-glasses.

But that one guy..
