At-a-Glance: Top 6 Features of the Google Pixel 2 for Primary Care Providers
The Camera: A picture is worth a thousand words--especially when it comes to dermatologic lesions.
The Battery: Designed for a day's use on full charge and adds 7 hours with a 15-minute charge.
Google Assistant: Add an appointment, do the math, ask "What happens at noon?" No desk required.
"Always-On" Display: Time, date, and apps with notifications are always visible; no need to open/unlock the phone and introduce distraction.
Google Fit Integration: Self-explanatory. Clinicians are at risk for the inertia-related conditions they treat in their patients. Fitness support, 24/7/365.
Google Translate: Pixel 2 Buds (required) facilitate the phone's two-way tranlsation feature that works in "near real-time."
