Abstract: A system for collecting and utilizing health data can include collecting data relative to a patient's health and aggregating the data with other sources of data to define a database. The patient data can be collected using an electronic device, such as a smart contact lens or smart contact lens container. The data within the database can be manipulated, organized, or otherwise processed to determine trends, relationships, and other characteristics of the database. The characteristics of the database can be correlated to predict a health condition of the patient, generate a healthcare recommendation, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Determination system including a computing device (i) obtaining information related to an eye of a target person from a plurality of data sources and (ii) making a determination of a predetermined matter related to the target person based on at least part of the information. The plurality of data sources include two or more of a sensor included in a contact lens of the target person, a sensor included in a storage container of the contact lens, a measurement device which carries out measurement related to the eye of the target person, tear fluid of the target person, a storage solution of the contact lens and, a diagnostic process of the target person.

Abstract: A contact lens includes a glucose sensor which can determine when a detectable concentration of glucose is present in the optical fluids of the user. The glucose sensor can transition between a first state and a second state relative to the concentration of glucose within the optical fluid of the user. The glucose sensor can be bonded or otherwise attached or incorporated into the contact lens. While the contact lens is worn in the user's eye, either the user or another person can view the contact lens to quickly determine if an excessive amount of glucose is present in the user's system.

Abstract: A contact lens includes a lens material and a sensor coupled to the lens material. The sensor is configured to sense a measurable characteristic used to determine an intraocular pressure of an eye to which the contact lens is applied. The sensor can include a variable capacitance sensor configured to change capacitance in response to a mechanical strain of the lens material. The intraocular pressure of the eye can then be correlated to the mechanical strain of the lens material.

Abstract: A contact lens container can include a body. The body can include a floor, at least one wall connected to the floor, a cavity defined, at least in part, by the floor and the at least one wall, and a sensor oriented to take a measurement of a contact lens solution within the cavity when the cavity is at least partially filled with a contact lens solution.

Abstract: The present invention relates to water soluble quaternized chitosan derivatives which form hydrogel matrix with broad antimicrobial properties for the protection and coating of medical device. Hydrogel is attractive as an antimicrobial coating since its hydrophilicity intrinsically prevents the reversible nonspecific attachment of microbes. In order to achieve hydrogel formation, quaternized chitosan can be grafted with polymerizable groups, especially photocrosslinkable groups, such as methacrylates, PEG derivatives and be converted into hydrogels through a thermal or UV polymerization process. Hydrogels are hydrated cross-linked polymeric systems that contain water in an equilibrium state forming cushion water shield. The present invention is widely used in many medical devices.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a polymerizable composition capable of providing antimicrobial properties to ophthalmic and medical devices relatively inexpensively with ease, and an antimicrobial composition obtained by polymerizing the polymerizable composition. A polymerizable composition for ophthalmic or medical use comprising an epsilon-polylysine having (meth)acryloyl group is provided. The content of the epsilon-polylysine having (meth)acryloyl group in the polymerizable composition is preferably about 0.1 to 99% by weight, based on the whole amount of the composition. A coating agent for ophthalmic or medical use comprising the above polymerizable composition, an antimicrobial composition for ophthalmic or medical use obtained by polymerizing the above polymerizable composition, an ophthalmic or medical device comprising the antimicrobial composition, and a contact lens comprising the antimicrobial composition are also provided.
