The "Google lab" known to work on atypical projects announced Thursday that he was to develop contact lenses that can help people with diabetes manage their blood sugar.
"We are currently testing smart lenses made to measure glucose levels in the tears" explained the two people behind the project, Babak Parviz and Brian Otis, in a posting on a blog. Such lenses operate in "connected using a small chip and a miniaturized glucose sensor, which are enclosed between two layers of materials which makes contact lenses, "they added.
According to them, clinical trials have been done on this project is still in its beginnings, and discussions are ongoing with the FDA, Agency American drugs. The prototypes of these lenses may determine the amount of glucose in the tears every second.

Projects that may seem strange
Researchers are investigating the possibility of integrating light signals that would prevent users when certain thresholds are exceeded glucose."We have always said that we wanted to work on projects that may seem strange," still have noted Babak Parviz and Brian Otis. "But while the International Diabetes Federation said that the world was being "losing the battle diabetes" we thought it worthwhile project to be developed, they concluded.
