Presumably the thing is on a network without internet access. Boom, problem solved.

Glass without an Internet connection doesn't normally work, so they must have done quite a lot.

The normal and promoted programming model is quite similar to Chromecast, where you push a subset of html pages to it and it displays them. That push occurs via your system sending a message to Google's server that pushes the update on the Glass.

That all changed last fall[1]. They released an SDK, so now it's pretty much just like making an Android app.

It doesn't mean patient data can't be leaked to the world (or even to wrong people inside the place).
