Sentences with phrase «contact lens sensors»

«This study can be used to diagnose diseases (diabetes and glaucoma) by implementing two types of transparent electronic sensors in the production of smart contact lens sensors,» said Professor Park.

In addition, because the system uses wireless antenna to read sensor information, no separate power source, like battery is required for the smart contact lens sensors.

«It was observed that the live rabbit did not show any abnormal behavior when wearing the contact lens sensor,» says Joohee Kim (Combined M.S. / Ph.D. student of Materials Science and Engineering), the first author of the study.

«Smart contact lens sensor» for diabetic and glaucoma diagnosis.»

In the study, the research team unveiled a smart contact lens sensor that could help monitor biomarkers for intraocular pressure (IOP), diabetes mellitus, and other health conditions.

Not exact matches

Yes, a contact lens made with super-tiny chips and sensors and an antenna inside that — of course — you wear right on your eyeball.

Such flexible, biofriendly and transparent energy sources could someday energize implanted health sensors, insulin pumps or high - tech contact lenses that project virtual displays onto the wearer's line of sight.

The powered antenna transmits electricity to the contact lens, which is used to interrogate the sensors, process the signals and transmit the readings back.

Furthermore, since the electronic sensor is inserted into the soft contact lens, the feeling of wearing it is also excellent.

According to the research team, their newly - developed smart lenses with built - in pressure - sensing and glucose - monitoring sensors could still detect blood glucose and IOP despite the deformation of the contact lenses.

«It should be noted that glucose is present not only in the blood but also in tears, and thus accurate monitoring of the glucose level in human tears by employing a contact - lens - type sensor can be an alternative approach for noninvasive glucose monitoring,» the researchers wrote.

The miniature solar panels could power myriad personal devices — wearable medical sensors, smartwatches, even autofocusing contact lenses.

These include electronic - skin coatings that can detect blood oxygen levels, contact lenses made from metal - oxide thin films that can detect glucose levels in tears and flexible integrated sensor arrays based on plastic and silicon integrated circuits that can detect molecules like glucose in sweat.

The previously - revealed information about the contacts, which included miniature sensors, processors, and other electronic bits within the lens was focused on its ability to detect glucose levels.

The technology is simply a tiny wireless chip and sensor wedged between two pieces of normal contact lens material.

In fact, Google owns two patents already for such «smart contact lenses» having sensors and flexible electronics, which read the proportion of chemical in the eyes of the wearer to determine their blood sugar levels.

Its latest Google X project can measure glucose levels in diabetics thanks to tiny sensors that are sandwiched inside of a clear contact lens.

As is outlined in the resulting research paper, which is titled «Soft, smart contact lenses with integrations of wireless circuits, glucose sensors, and displays,» the researchers were able to create a contact lens which could respond to changes in glucose and provide results via an LED panel on the lens itself.

Researchers at Google are working on a contact lens that alerts diabetics to changes in their blood sugar levels and adjusts the required doses of insulin accordingly, sensors can detect the onset of a user's epileptic seizure, and the independently controlled robotic walking device launched last year by Rex Bionics could one day change the lives of wheelchair users.
