A Google Glass-based platform has been shown to detect human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Since its limited availability to public, Google Glass has been used for variety of applications.
The GoogleGlass is famous for a voice-controllable hands-free computing system that can perform imaging and video-recording tasks. In addition, various wireless technologies including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are available in it. It can access internet and determine location information via global positioning systems (GPS) and/or triangulation through cellular service provider towers.

The details of recently demonstrated Google Glass-based rapid diagnostic test (RDT) reader platform has been published in American Chemical Society journal ACSNANO by a group of scientists from University of California, LA, USA. This platform was used in lateral flow immunochromatographic assays that are important in biomedical diagnostic tests.
