Diabetes is among the most rapidly rising
ailments today. Market research reports for
healthcare estimate that around 390 million
people could possibly be suffering from diabetes
with half of them not being properly diagnosed at
global level. Already developed equipment for
easily testing blood sugar level at home involves
a drop of blood. More research has now led to
simple devices that perform the same function
without having to prick the finger for blood. The
medical field is highly incorporating
technological developments into its procedures.
Furthermore, big tech giants like Google are also
working towards integration of technology and
medicine. One of the results of this is the
Google Contact Lens. Until recently most of the
devices that were used to check the blood sugar
level relied on a drop of blood. This drop when
fed into the device would generate the result.
Healthcare industry research reports reveal that
devices like Accu Check and blood sugar test
strips are popular. Google has now moved beyond
the primary requirement for blood whilst
retaining functionality. Google Contact Lenses do
not require blood but instead rely on tears and
water released from eyes for calculating and
monitoring the glucose level whilst enhancing the
vision of the wearer. The lens consists of a
wireless chip and a miniaturized glucose sensor.
A tiny pin hole in the lens allows the tear fluid
to seep into the sensor to measure the blood
sugar level.

Both of the sensors are embedded between two soft
layers of lens material. The electronics lie
outside of both the pupil and the iris so there
is no damage to the eye. The wireless antenna
present in each lens communicates the information
to a wireless device. The prototype being tested
can generate a reading once per second. Smart
contact lenses are one of the most anticipated
IoT (Internet of Things) technologies. Similar
developments are taking place in certain regions
around the world where the companies have managed
to get patenets. Scientists from Uisan National
Institute of Science and Technology in South
Korea have developed a soft and flexible contact
lens that will allow diabetics to monitor their
blood sugar level with the blink of an eye by
analyzing their tears and using LED pixels in the
device. The developers have laid extra focus on
improving vision and comfort of the
wearer. Oregon State University professors from
the US are researching a bio sensing contact lens
that has an ultra sensitive bio sensor that can
detect the lowest glucose concentrations present
in tears. After being fully developed the
technology would transfer the information to a
smart phone or other WI-FI/Bluetooth devices.

Swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis teamed up
with Google to develop the Google Contact Lens.
Many other companies are also planning to enter
the sphere of smart contact lenses despite modest
developments. Googles development is leading the
way for several others. Technology is being
developed that will work in similar fashion and
detect oxygen levels, pulse rate and even the
presence of cancer. From an analysis of ongoing
research we can conclude that there are two main
objectives of modern technology which are
firstly, to increase monitoring and secondly, to
integrate technology and medicine. The researches
that best prove this fact are being carried out
by some of the most technologically advanced
countries in the world led by the US and South
Korea. To know more, click on the link
