InWith Puts Smart Tech In Bausch And Lomb Lenses

I'm a former tech executive covering VR, AR and new media for Forbes.
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.

Good article detailing Professor Sei Kwang Hahn and his research team including his Ph.D. student, Geon-Hui Lee, invented a smart photonic contact lens and a wearable medical device which can diagnose diabetes and treat diabetic retinopathy.

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?

Join the group for private shareholders. All good news from there.
Are they still in business? Do they still respond to shareholder? Has anyone lately contacted them? Any progress? H8ster, Vikings?

Has nothing to do with Smart Contact lenses.
I don't get it. That's like saying the Impossible Burger pretty much dooms the chicken sandwich.
sounds to me like this pretty much dooms the smart contact fantasy:

Core IP now protected. Elastic Circuit and Pre Defined Spaces will create multiple deals with companies that hold other major patents.
Do better DD. It’s been granted.
H8ster, it is still a pending application and in the future will only benefit the owners as InWith is a private company;

Good luck.
InWith Corp just got it's 5th patent approved today.
MEDICAL DEVICE WITH PRE-DEFINED SPACE AND RELATED METHODS
Abstract
A medical device including a pre-defined space such as a geometric shape or void. In one approach, the pre-defined space provides desired rigidity and more comfort for a user. There is also provided an approach which enables engravings and accommodates electronics, mechanical objects, or other rigid or unique shapes to be embedded within a medical device such as a contact lens. When adapted to swellable substrates, the resulting swelled material can leave a gap around a perimeter of embedded structure.
Cool. Piezoelectric powered lenses.
Cool! Now they just have to figure out how to put that circuitry into a silicone hydrogel.
Remember, keep all topics related to official company business of any company mentioned to their prospective boards, and or investor sites. This board is to discuss the technology that the companies are working to bring to market. Nothing else.
Any news here judy?
Thanks
Thank you, Judypudy!!
david.dugas@broadridge.com
Does anyone on the board have a viable email address for Broadridge Financial?
When will InWith be listed? Still patiently waiting...
well, they have a picture!
(of course, it's a stock photo used by many)
Does InWith have a prototype lens yet? I thought there was supposed to be one by the end of the year 2018.....or was it 2017?
