Contact Lens from Google



Google is a step ahead in technology,  when it is said that they are producing new technology eye lens that can help diabetic patients to control sugar in times of stress.

According to project co-founders Brian Otis and Babak Parviz said Google now is still in the testing stage of new extraction Contact lens technology that can measure the level of glucose in tear .This lens technology can function using a small wireless chip and the glucose sensor which was in the integrated  inside  between the two layers onto  soft materials inside glasses to make it more effective in detecting sugar level.

According to the Google currently this  technology are   in the processing  form of  prototype  and still undergoing verification testing and is still in its infancy. Right to market this technology, it  requires the help of private partners so that it can penetrate the market now. So far, US Food and Drug Administration is the earliest agencies interested in developing this lens technology.

Between the challenges confronted by the team at the lab Google is difficulty getting tears and understand the purpose of the study ,therefore Google X lab team members envision the use of this Contact lens technology could unlock more secrets of tear glucose and accurate. Based on the appearance, this product contain  of chip and censor which  is very small and has an antenna finer than a strand of hair.The test results have been made , that  this Contact lens technology capable of producing a glucose level reading in seconds. This record is not  suffice, thereof    researchers now is  tried to improve the ability of this technology by  inserting  the tiny lights that can warn patients about whether sugar levels rise or fall.

Google parties also acknowledge that they deliberately establish this project(Contact Lens) for the purpose of creating diversity in the technology field glasses in order to help reduce diabetes disease.  Recent reports have also shown that each of the 19 is diabetics and     is rising year by year based on the report of the International Diabetes Federation.
