ROCHESTER, N.Y., Nov. 2, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Vuzix® Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), ("Vuzix"
or, the "Company"), a leading supplier of smart glasses and
Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, today announced a
partnership with EDAP TMS SA ("EDAP"), a global leader in robotic
energy-based therapies, whereby Vuzix will supply its M400 smart
glasses to be used in conjunction with EDAP's Focal One
Robotic High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Platform for
device setup, troubleshooting, and applications use. Use of Vuzix
smart glasses helps ensure that hospitals using the system will be
able to make full use of it and provide the highest level of
patient care. EDAP plans to ship a pair of M400 smart glasses with
every HIFU unit they ship.
The Focal One system uses high-performance, high-intensity,
focused ultrasound to achieve precision targeting and destruction
of a portion of the patient's prostate while sparing healthy
surrounding tissue, thereby reducing side effects. Due to the
complexity of the equipment, surgeon-operators need a hands-on demo
so they can interact with the system, and ask questions to a
skilled operator, usually a surgeon who is trained and has already
used the device in the operating room. Without this level of
interaction, it is extremely challenging to accurately convey the
uses and operation of the system. Additionally, many hospitals that
have already purchased the system are as of yet unable to get the
full benefit of the system due to lack of training in actual use.
Uses Vuzix smart glasses facilitates the hands-free level of
remote support necessary to address these issues.

Vuzix smart glasses, you can download the case study
