????批評谷歌眼鏡（Google Glass）的人可能又少了一個唱衰這款產品的理由。

????可穿戴設備軟件設計公司Wearable Intelligence是一家位于舊金山的初創企業，由嚴-大衛?艾爾里奇、瑞安?朱尼以及蔡司?菲戈于去年七月創立。這家公司開發的企業級軟件能利用谷歌眼鏡來提升服務人員的日常表現。

????舉例來說，醫療專業人士能使用谷歌眼鏡來瀏覽病人病史，無需上電腦查看傳統圖表，從而能更快地進行診斷。再比如，建筑工人在工作中無需再翻看建筑圖紙。

????曾在谷歌擔任產品經理的艾爾里奇說：“我們的軟件針對90％的職場人士，這些人不在電腦后面工作，而且經常需要動手干活。”Wearable Intelligence公司的軟件有三大功能：安全登陸并訪問客戶端服務器、客戶能高度定制的虛擬“工作流程清單”以及使用谷歌眼鏡攝像頭的視頻流功能。

????有近10家機構在谷歌眼鏡上試用Wearable Intelligence的軟件，位于馬薩諸塞州波士頓市的哈佛大學柏斯以色列狄肯尼斯醫學中心（Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center）是其中的一家。

????目前，醫生和護士在普通電腦上通過自己的醫師執照登陸系統。電腦上會出現一個二維條形碼，幫助在谷歌眼鏡上驗證用戶身份。一旦登錄成功，醫務人員就能通過谷歌眼鏡查看病人病歷、一步步進行診斷，甚至通過視頻流邀請同事進行會診。完成診斷后，用戶只需摘下眼鏡，軟件就會從谷歌眼鏡中清除全部用戶和患者數據。（如果用戶離開醫院，谷歌眼鏡將自動關機、刪除數據并通知用戶返回醫院。）

????Wearable Intelligence公司目前已經募得100多萬美元的種子資金，投資者包括首輪資本公司（First Round Capital）、谷歌創投（Google Ventures）、安德森?霍洛維茨（Andreessen Horowitz）、凱鵬華盈（Kleiner Perkins）以及連續創業家史蒂夫?布蘭克。Wearable Intelligence 公司表示，2014年，它將致力于增加新功能，比如在幾小時后、或者在經過復雜的醫療程序之后，自動登出系統，同時將業務擴展到其他行業。

????正如艾爾里奇所說，谷歌眼鏡不是最終產品——個人用戶版谷歌眼鏡預計將于今年晚些時候面市，而可穿戴技術仍然屬于新興市場。艾爾里奇表示，雖然存在懷疑論者，但谷歌眼鏡終將擁有各種應用。

????Google Glass critics may now have a reason to be less skeptical.

????Wearable Intelligence, a San Francisco-based startup founded last July by Yan-David Erlich, Ryan Junee and Chase Feiger, has developed enterprise software that uses Google's wearable computer glasses to improve the day-to-day performance of service workers.

????Medical professionals, for example, can use Google Glass to skim a patient's medical history without referencing traditional charts on a computer, and so diagnose symptoms more quickly. Or a construction worker could work without ever reaching for a building map.

????"It's for the 90% of workers who don't work behind a computer and use their hands a lot," explains Erlich, a former Google (GOOG) product manager. The software offers three major features: secure sign-on and access to client servers, a sort of virtual "workflow checklist" template clients can heavily customize, and a video streaming ability that uses the device's camera.

????Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Mass., is one of around 10 organizations that have been testing Wearable Intelligence's software with Glass.

????Doctors and nurses currently log in to the system with their medical credentials at a regular computer. The computer presents a two-dimensional bar code called a QR code that helps authenticate the user's identity with Google Glass. Once they are logged in, medics can check a patient's medical history, follow step-by-step procedures for forming a diagnosis, or even have a colleague weigh in via video streaming, all using Glass. Once the user is done, they simply remove the glasses, causing the software to erase all user and patient data from the device. (If a user exits the hospital, Glass automatically shuts down, erases the data and notifies the user to turn back.)

????Wearable Intelligence has raised over $1 million in seed funding from backers including First Round Capital, Google Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Kleiner Perkins and serial entrepreneur Steve Blank. The startup will spend the rest of 2014 layering on new features -- say, automatic sign-off after a few hours, or walkthroughs of complex medical procedures -- and expanding into other industries, the company says.

????As Erlich notes, Glass isn't a final product -- the consumer version is expected later this year, and wearable technology remains a nascent market. Despite the skeptics, Glass will eventually have a wide variety of applications, says Erlich.
