High-Tech Contact Lenses
Good article from Dec. 2020. WHERE ARE ALL THE SMART LENSES?
Some contact lens technologies are still on the horizon, while others appear to be more in reach.[/I]
WHERE ARE ALL THE SMART LENSES?
Where have all the smart lenses gone, long time passing; Where have all the smart lenses gone, long time ago?
It has been more than a decade since publications reported the advent of smart contact lenses.1 The passage of time without commercialization of component-containing lenses begs several questions. Perhaps the most critical is: Why is the time for commercialization so long? The short answer: Because it is difficult.
Smart contact lenses are a road less traveled, and much like the first three words in M. Scott Peck’s book, The Road Less Traveled, “Life is difficult.” To take a great lesson from the world of emerging technology: products must be useful, and they must be usable................

Good Article from Optometry Times for smart contact lenses.
"The companies behind smart contact lenses are staying quiet about their work, but we know that applications include health monitoring, medical treatment for allergy and burns, invisible computing and enhancing vision. The future of optometry includes the utilization of smart contact lenses for allergy, glaucoma, AMD, OSD, and more.
What is the IQ of a contact lens? Does the term “smart” contact lens mean the lens thinks? I went looking for a definition of the so-called “smart” contact lens and found a wide variety of meanings. But the one that I think sums up the best overall definition is this: “A smart contact lens means putting rigid, non-see-through components onto a lens that will be in direct contact with the eye.”1
Smart contact lenses can act as medical devices, health trackers or gauges, and audio and video recorders. In addition, the possibility is being explored of using smart contact lenses to perform as a computer."......................

BioMem technology to treat hearing issues will be huge.
MEMS Microphones, the Future for Hearing Aids
by Jerad Lewis and Dr. Brian Moss
"Driven by aging populations and a pronounced increase in hearing loss, the market for hearing aids continues to grow, but their conspicuous size and short battery life turn many people off. As hearing loss becomes ever more common, people will look for smaller, more efficient, higher quality hearing aids. At the start of the hearing aid signal chain, microphones sense voices and other ambient sounds, so improved audio capture can lead to higher performance and lower power consumption throughout the signal chain...........
Hearing BioMem
Can't wait to see the BioMem market explode onto the scene in the next couple of years. So much going on under the radar.
Recent Advances in Implantable and BioMEMS Electronics and Their Applications with the Human Microbiome
"Our bodies play host to many different micro-organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and foreign cells. The study of microbes has exploded with the recent advances in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and specifically microelectronics. But aren’t microbes bad?................"
BioMEMS Electronics and Their Applications with the Human Microbiome
New patent approved in the smart contact lens world. Tech among all the players is slowly, but surely getting protected. There will be a lot of different 'mousetraps' in this market. Mojo, Samsung, Innovera, Sensimed, InWith Corp, etc, etc. Then there are all the ones we don't know about.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AN IMAGING LENS
"The present invention is a method and apparatus projecting an image or series of images onto the retina. Furthermore, the present invention is neither cumbersome nor obstructive to the user. This is accomplished by embedding an imaging lens on the perimeter of the contact lens adapted to project an image inward toward the center of the contact lens, wherein the projected light will then be redirected onto the retina."

Mojo Lenses. These Smart Contact Lenses Overlay Info Without Obscuring Your View
Will be interesting to see if they can get these lenses made from this material to market or will $150M be wasted.
"After five years and over $150 million raised, Mojo Vision is finally willing to talk a bit about how it is accomplishing that. No doubt it feels it has earned some running room, with over 100 patents issued or filed by its 85 employees. Their creation, the Mojo Lens, enables the projection of information directly into your retina. That means what you see in the real world can be augmented with overlays of various kinds. An image sensor, some built-in image processing, and a companion wearable will allow apps to provide a wide variety of augmented reality experiences."

Just got my InWith corrective smart lenses and now I can see through wooden doors!
Stock_Barber, EP Global Communications ceased to exist in 2018. EOM
While indeed he worked for Sarcos Raytheon for a while, he is not the owner of Sarcos Robotics. He may own a small share of the company he was granted when he worked there. I see no evidence he currently works there in any capacity. I see this as more of resume filler than anything. Perhaps he sold his share of Sarcos to support himself while working on inwith stuff.
These guys are just not credible.

I know exactly the kind of articles you mean. Of course, I have only seen them for publicly traded companies because the only point for them is to boost share price. This is privately company and they have no reason to do so.
Additionally, there are no recognized statements that they were hired for writing the article. Additionally, it would say 'paid program' next the the author's name, as it does with all of Forbe's paid for articles. It does not say that here.
Whats going on is, Mojo Vision has done a mass media blitz regarding their smart lens product through twitter, and various media outlets, regarding their product that is no where near becoming a reality. All a tech writer (all of which whom saw the mojo articles), has to do is a search the top 10 companies involved in smart contact lens development to see if Mojo is a top company. They are not. Unless they are now due to their media blitz. But they will find Inwith is and has been for some time. Add to that, being that InWith tweeted about Mojo's articles on twitter and used the same hashtags, etc, etc, any tech writer now researching Mojo Vision on Twitter, is going to see what InWith was tweeting as well. And InWith and what they have, makes a for a great article. I'm not surprised at all that Charlie Fink decided to write an article about them.
I may be mistaken.
I accept your explanation, as I likely have ad-blockers turned-on in both firefox & brave.
However, the article has all the markings of a PR campaign; surely I’m not the only one who recognizes this.
Regardless, I’m hopeful these types of advances continue to progress.
Wrong! There are actually ads embedded in the article. You don't see it probably because of an ad-blocker. The word "PROMOTED" is for the ad, not the article about InWith.
Here's what it really looks like:
It's the same for the ad on the bottom of the article. I see all ads because I don't use ad-blockers.
FORBES does paid-for 'promos' called 'Native Advertising'
Paid-for Promotional Advertising, designed to appear as an actual "Forbes- branded" article, are now common.
They're paid-for awareness-campaigns, typically just re-hashed company PR that appear to be 'written' by a freelancer, who gets paid for attaching their name to the 'article.'
Journalistic standards require them to include the terms 'promoted' or 'advertisement' somewhere, tho they're often small & innocuous-enough to be unnoticed, which is the point.
I think most folks already KNOW THIS, as it's common to see these articles linked-to on IHUB. Just thought I'd post a reminder...
Great Forbes article
InWith Corporation, which holds key enabling IP in augmented contact lenses, has been at work with Bausch and Lomb (NYSE: BHC) to develop smart contacts for the past year. InWith plans for an Institutional Review Board approval this year on first prototypes. InWith co-founder and CEO Michael Hayes says the unique marriage marriage of highly biocompatible materials with 3-D flexible microelectronics embedded into molded hydrogel devices, which InWith calls “smart biology,” may be on the market “in the near future.”

InWith Corporation, which holds key enabling IP in augmented contact lenses, has been at work with Bausch and Lomb to develop smart contacts for the past year. InWith plans for an Institutional Review Board approval this year on first prototypes. InWith co-founder and CEO Michael Hayes says the unique marriage marriage of highly biocompatible materials with 3-D flexible microelectronics embedded into molded hydrogel devices, which InWith calls “smart biology,” may be on the market “in the near future.”

With InWith’s technology, the augmented lens is just like the soft contact lens 150 million people use every day. Except they’re connected to your phone. They harvest energy from the normal blinking of the eyes. Check your blood sugar. Send alerts and notifications. “This opens the door to hundreds of new devices: blood chemistry for cancer and virus detection, drug delivery, artificial organ parts with electronics for movement,” said Hayes in an interview. “This is the next big wave; the merger of the mobile device into the human body for full monitoring of your health. It will lead to less disease and longer lives.”

Hayes is the co-inventor, with Dr. David Markus PhD, of InWith’s medical device, microelectronics and ophthalmic patents. Some of the patents used are: (1) Energy Harvesting from the blinking human eye to power a contact lens; (2) Defining space inside hydrogel devices such as contacts, for computer circuitry to be embedded during manufacturing; and (3) Smart case for charging smart contact lenses in liquid medium, while not in use. There are more, and some pending.
InWith’s remarkably small team of five has been working alongside a much larger team of scientists on the smart contact lens’ development. “In Bausch and Lomb’s labs, our smart technology is embedded in the Bausch and Lomb ULTRA contacts, which are the best multifocal lenses on the market today.” Said Hayes.

“The era of fully monitored health and well-being is coming and it requires biocompatibility mixed with circuitry,” says Hayes. “Won't it be cool when early detection of virus, cancer, etc., will be in micro hydrogel implants that alert your smartphone, like your home has carbon monoxide and smoke detectors? Commonplace.” Hayes says at scale the augmented contacts won’t cost much more than the current contact lenses.
Bausch and Lomb is a leading manufacturer of contact lenses, which is an $18 Bn market. "Bausch + Lomb continuously seeks the latest advancements in eye care technology,” said Arthur Shannon, SVP of Bausch and Lomb.
Last month, Mojo Vision came out of stealth with its own augmented contact lenses. They are doing a pilot with Vista Vision Center of Palo Alto helping sight impaired people navigate low light situations. “The future is wet,” said Hayes. “This is just the DOS phase for this technology. We’re going to have bio implants. It won’t end here.”

All and all, with so many entities, be it a large blue-chip company like Samsung or Sony, or a college research lab, the era of wearable technologies is going explode onto the tech scene like no other.
As for wearables such as smart contact lenses, it seems everybody has an idea. The keys are to make so they are safe, comfortable and functional.
'Smart' Contact Lenses Might Also Monitor Eye Health
Another interesting article regarding a team of scientists in South Korea developing a smart contact lens.

Wearables definitely have what seems seems to be a endless amount of applications. This is awesome.
Wearable Air Conditioning!
One day, soldiers could cool down on the military battlefield -- preventing heat stroke or exhaustion -- by using "wearable air conditioning," an on-skin device designed by engineers at the University of Missouri. The device includes numerous human health care applications such as the ability to monitor blood pressure, electrical activity of the heart and the level of skin hydration.

Elastic Circuit. Among others. This page isn't to debate a company. We go off what companies release and say. Then discuss the technology/IP they own. If you wish to debate a specific company's intentions, I suggest you go to the the company's direct page for investors. Otherwise your posts will be deleted here.
I would imagine so. The company is approaching it's 2nd full year. Depends on what companies they are working with and the difficulty of the products that those companies want InWith's tech for. Afterall, it's InWith's technology brings other company's products to life.
Is anything happening for inwith this year?
