XPANCEO Unveils Smart Contact Lens Prototypes with Wireless Power Transfer and Biosensing
- XPANCEO unveils three smart contact lens prototypes at MWC 2025
- Prototypes feature wireless power transfer, biosensing, and intraocular pressure sensors
- Biosensor can measure body parameters directly from tear fluid
- Non-invasive glaucoma management system uses AI-powered smartphone app and intraocular pressure sensor
- Prototypes are still in the development stage and not yet commercially available
Introduction to Smart Contact Lenses
XPANCEO, a self-acclaimed "deep tech" company, has unveiled three smart contact lens prototypes at MWC 2025. These prototypes give us a glimpse into the technology that could shape the future of vision health.
The company's prototypes highlight fully remote power transfer, biosensing, and intraocular pressure sensors for managing and detecting diseases such as glaucoma.
Prototype 1: Fully Remote Power Transfer
XPANCEO's first prototype showcases fully remote power transfer technology, which offers twice the range of previous industry solutions. This technology powers a contact lens wirelessly from a compact companion device, such as a contact lens case.
Prototype 2: Biosensing
XPANCEO's prototype biosensor can measure body parameters directly from tear fluid. The lens uses nanoparticles to enable high-sensitivity monitoring of biomarkers such as glucose, hormones, and vitamins.
Prototype 3: Non-Invasive Glaucoma Management
XPANCEO's third tech prototype is a non-invasive glaucoma management system. Using an AI-powered smartphone app and a built-in intraocular pressure sensor, the company says it can provide "instant, highly precise measurements" that can be used to detect early glaucoma before significant vision loss occurs.
