Multimodal smart eyeglasses for adaptive vision, predictive ocular and hemodynamic monitoring, and emergency response

PCT designated stageWO2025163631A1Non-optical adjunctsSensorsMicrocontrollerPtychography
This invention relates to a pair of intelligent, multimodal smart eyeglasses designed for adaptive vision, biometric ocular monitoring, and predictive emergency response. The system integrates multilayer lenses filled with electrochromic gel and surrounded by elastic structures to enable dynamic focal length modulation in response to user visual behavior. An array of sensors—including visible light, ultraviolet, micro-cameras, infrared emitters, gyroscopes, and ultrasonic transceivers—collects multispectral data to evaluate environmental and physiological parameters. Real-time data processing is performed by an embedded quantum microcontroller, which manages light transmittance, detects eye fatigue, maps ocular surfaces, and identifies hemodynamic abnormalities such as fainting, seizure, or ocular stroke. Advanced imaging techniques, such as ultrasonic ptychography and wave diffraction analysis, enable non-invasive 3D mapping of ocular layers and internal eye motion. The system also supports wireless communication with external platforms including smartphones, vehicles, and brain-machine interfaces, enabling proactive safety interventions. These features work in tandem to support early diagnosis of critical conditions, protect vision, and personalize user experiences through machine learning and adaptive feedback mechanisms.
