Melbourne technology start-up, Small World Social has collaborated with the Australian Breastfeeding Association to create a Breastfeeding App that uses Google Glass.

The app uses step-by-step visual tutorials to coach new mothers as they learn to breastfeed and enables them to video call health professionals who can see and advise them on their health concerns in real time.

The success of the trial also shows the future possibilities of healthcare for people in regional or remote areas.

The Project concluded with all mothers and newborns breastfeeding confidently at the conclusion of the 8-week trial.  Counsellors were located as far as Perth, Adelaide and Queensland and still could provide personalised advice to the Victorian mothers.

As the program has been successful, the ABA and SWS are exploring ways to scale the application Australia-wide in 2014, as well as incorporate ways Google Glass can be used for other health issues
