The glasses also have a downward-facing camera for photographing food for meal tracking. That data is analyzed and transferred to the Sense app, and the photo is discarded, Strand said. The goal is to make food logging a passive activity, which can “dramatically increase the compliance” when working toward a goal or abiding by a certain diet, Strand said.
“For the diet application, we are now closing the loop. We know what you are eating, we know how you are eating, we know your physical activity and your exercise,” he said.
Strand added that he thinks the glasses could also be used for managing neurological conditions, such as autism or Parkinson’s.
“We want to figure out what are the needs that give them a real benefit,” Strand said of potential consumers, “and justify wearing the glasses.”
