Wearable devices such as smart glasses are considered promising assistive tools for information exchange in healthcare settings. We aimed to evaluate the usability and feasibility of team-based simulations constructed using a high-fidelity simulator. Two scenarios patients with arrhythmia were developed establish procedure interprofessional interactions via 15-h simulation training. Three four participants formed team played roles remote supporter or bed-side trainee glasses. Usability, attitudes towards health care learning satisfaction assessed. Using 5-point Likert scale, from 1 (strongly disagree) 5 agree), 31 reported that easy use (3.61 ± 0.95), they felt confident during (3.90 0.87), responded positively long-term (3.26 0.89) low levels physical discomfort (1.96 1.06). The was high (4.65 0.55), most (84%) found experience favorable. Key challenges included an unstable internet connection, poor resolution display, while accessories. determined acceptability within simulation. Participants favorably toward glass-based environment would be applicable clinical
