The New York company noted the healthcare industry continues to be an early adopter of smart glasses to deliver a variety of benefits in and outside of the operating room. 

Over the last year, hundreds of surgeries were performed using Vuzix Smart Glasses and thousands of remote calls made to provide a virtual presence within hospitals and senior care facilities that were video broadcast securely via Vuzix M400 and M4000 Smart Glasses to provide virtual training, health care for patients in the ICU and the operating room, and to perform virtual patient rounds.

“We continue to see an increasing number of end-customers moving from proof-of-concept to full deployments with Vuzix industry leading M400 Smart Glasses,” said CEO Paul Travers in a statement. “In this case, they are deploying within the healthcare market vertical to support surgical training, patient care, virtual rounds and the likes.”
