I don't think OCR will work that well in this case. Assuming the OCR is able to detect the letters, at least from my experience, they like to draw stuff, write things in uneven 2-column or 3-column format, and make use of shorthand symbols.
the OCR is shown to the google glass wearer who can confirm that the OCR is correct.
This takes a LOT of time. For a page of patient note full of lab values, one needs to make sure each number is translated correctly. And if something is wrong, how do you expect the wearer to fix the OCR results on the google glass?
Price wise, I would think 1 or 2 google glass would be much cheaper than a real EMR system.
