""We are going to see a revolution going forward of wearable computational devices, with Google Glass being the first one out of the gate," says Chief Innovation Officer of Palomar Health, Orlando Portale. This prediction is the reason Palomar Health and Qualcomm Life have teamed up to build an incubator for developers called Glassomics. The incubator aims to provide platforms and eventually, hospital venues to create medical apps for computer glasses, smart watches, and wearable devices for patients. Qualcomm Life is providing development tools and software platforms such as AllJoyn: a system that provides peer-to-peer, real-time sharing capabilities for doctors.
