"We’re [Google is] now testing a smart contact lens that’s built to measure glucose
levels in tears using a tiny wireless chip and miniaturized glucose
sensor that are embedded between two layers of soft contact lens
material." That's from Google's blog about its smart contact lenses. "We’re testing prototypes that can generate a reading once per
second. We’re also investigating the potential for this to serve as an
early warning for the wearer, so we’re exploring integrating tiny LED
lights that could light up to indicate that glucose levels have crossed
above or below certain thresholds. It’s still early days for this
technology, but we’ve completed multiple clinical research studies which
are helping to refine our prototype. We hope this could someday lead to
a new way for people with diabetes to manage their disease." Read more of Google's blog about the development.
OpticalCEUs posted the development initially four days ago. Read that post.
