Some of the venture capital investors behind the Glass Collective, a project that will provide seed funding for developers and companies creating apps for Google Glass, said recently that they’re particularly interested in medical applications for the Glass.

They’re definitely not the only ones. While Google Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and Andreessen Horowitz are vetting investment opportunities in Glass apps, thousands of consumers have been selected to test out the glasses and gauge what kind of apps would make them most useful (after the selected consumers hash out $1,500 for them, of course).

First Google extended the offer to some early adopters, Glass Explorers. (Among the first set of Explorers was a doctor who said he’d use them to “revolutionize how clinical trials are conducted.”) Then came the #ifihadglass finalists. I browsed through the selected ideas (full listing here) and picked out some of the most intriguing ideas for the healthcare industry.
