Eyewear Will Monitor Blood-Sugar Levels for Diabetics
Novartis and Google Inc. are joining forces to work on a smart contact lens that monitors blood-sugar levels and corrects vision in a new way, the latest in a series of technology products designed to monitor body functions.
On Monday, the two companies said Novartis's Alcon eye-care division would license and commercialize "smart lens" technology designed by Google[x], a development team at the search engine giant. Financial details of the partnership weren't provided.
The smart lenses, which Google unveiled in January, are part of a growing number of wearable technology and software products used to monitor health and fitness.
