Verily/Novartis Halts Glucose Sensing Contact Lens Development

Here is a brief preview of this blast: Verily announced it has placed a hold on the development of its glucose-sensing contact lens that it had been working on in partnership with Novartis (Alcon). The announcement comes as no surprise given comments from Novartis's Chairman, Joerg Reinhardt, in May 2017 saying "[The glucose-sensing lens is] a long-term project, not something where we were expecting a breakthrough in the first couple of years" and "I personally think it’s a highly risky project." Below, FENIX provides thoughts on the Verily/Novartis product as well as the future of non-invasive glucose monitoring.
