ROCHESTER, N.Y., March 24, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, today announced the Company has received a follow-on M400 Smart Glasses order from 1Minuut Innovation, a Dutch medical services company. This follow-on order for 110 M400 Smart Glasses with accessories represents ongoing business demand from 1Minuut beyond a previously announced shipment of over 100 M400 Smart Glasses. Intended usage for these units is for general telemedicine and to support 1Minuut Innovation in response to COVID-19 healthcare needs in the Netherlands.

1Minuut's main focus is to deliver highly secured video streaming and recording through their Genzõ mobile software platform. Genzõ facilitates an easy-to-use, safe and mobile communications platform to chat or video call using Vuzix Smart Glasses, delivering medical expertise across multiple use cases in healthcare. The Point of View (PoV) of the care practitioner wearing the Vuzix Smart Glasses makes it easy for external highly skilled colleagues to give help. The care practitioner has their hands free all the time while receiving visual and voice expert feedback on their Vuzix Smart Glasses. Using AR overlays, Genzõ makes it easy to point to a certain area on the live video screen or give textual feedback. Integration of medical company policies and protocols while sending telemedicine sessions on the smart glasses is also possible with Genzõ. Genzõ uses 'HIPAA compliant equivalent' EU-based GDPR-compliant software (ISO27001 and NEN7510) to share (push and pull) medical data safely to and from patient files.

"Currently, Vuzix is our exclusive smart glasses provider. The Vuzix M400 with its enhanced performance and capabilities is the ideal solution to fulfill the urgent needs of our customer case in response to this pandemic," stated Martijn de Groot, CEO and Co-Founder of 1Minuut Innovation. "In this time of crisis, when The Netherlands is flooded with the widespread Corona virus, smart glasses are proving to be an efficient way to keep key professionals at a safe distance while not sacrificing the quality of care in quarantine environments."

"1Minuut is trailblazing the health care industry through the creation of their Genzõ mobile platform around Vuzix Smart Glasses to deliver new telemedicine experiences that improve both the quality and accessibility of healthcare during crisis situation." said Paul Travers, Vuzix President and Chief Executive Officer.
