Any emergency room doctor can tell you about the importance of time, that seconds can make the difference between life and death. And a new computing startup is taking that into account, leveraging technology that provides a patient’s medical history in the blink of an eye, the reported.

San Francisco-based Wearable Intelligence is partnering with Google (GOOG) to save doctors time in the ER with its software that works with Google Glass that shows providers patients’ full medical records in front of their eyes so they don’t have to toggle between terminals and charts while tending to patients.

Co-founders Yan-David Erlich and Ryan Junee are participating in a new program, “Glass for Work,” aimed at providing tools for businesses to integrate Google’s wearable device into their office setting.

Right now the software is being used by doctors at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, and Erlich claims the technology has already helped to save a life. A patient came to the hospital with a massive brain bleed, and the standard course of treatment involves medications this patient was allergic to.

“Historically, doctors waste precious seconds going back to the terminal to check the information for the patient. In this case, because the doctor was wearing Google Glass, the allergies and the treatment was in his field of view without having to break eye contact with the patient, and without wasting precious seconds in the course of treatment,” Erlich says.

“All communications stay securely within the hospital’s Wi-Fi network,” he says. “If you take glass with our software out of the hospital, it locks with an unusable screen and asks that the device be brought back into the walls of the hospital.”
