ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix" or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, today highlights the potential and expanding use of Vuzix smart glasses within healthcare using AI applications. Separately, the Company announced that its M400 smart glasses are being demoed by partners Ohana One and TeleVU at the AIMed Global Summit being held this week in San Diego, CA.

As the de-facto hardware component in a variety of innovative new healthcare applications, Vuzix is providing a platform for companies like TeleVU to develop AI-based applications for healthcare for use on smart glasses in a multitude of game-changing medical use cases. These include simple security/privacy measures such as a blurring algorithm, which can selectively blur the faces of anyone who has not consented to be pictured, thereby allowing physicians to broadcast or share surgeries while maintaining requested patient privacy and confidentiality. In wound care, AI can be used to identify the perimeter of the wound, which can then be used to calculate the surface area of the damage, as physicians measure healing by the size of surface area. These calculations are accurate and standardized, not relying on the physician's viewing angle or the estimation to manually calculate it. On the imaging side, AI -enabled smart glasses can assist in the identification of key body organs on x-rays. AR smart glasses using AI can automate all these and many other processes.

"The combination of AR and AI have the potential to revolutionize the healthcare industry," said Paul Travers, President and CEO of Vuzix. "Applications such as those being developed by TeleVU and implemented by healthcare innovators like Ohana One can make patient treatment simpler, faster and more accurate. Vuzix is proud to be a supplier to such a critical element in the future of medical practice."
