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?

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.
