Google has announced plans to partner with Novartis, a European drug maker, to develop a "smart" contact lens that has the ability to monitor the wearer's blood sugar.
Novartis's eye care unit, Alcon, has struck a deal to license the smart contact lens technology from one of Google's research divisions and use it to develop new products. The prototype lens uses sensors and a radio antenna thinner than a human hair to monitor blood sugar. Although Alcon has not stated how this data would be transmitted, the goal is to make it available for upload to smart phones and other devices.
