Vuzix Partners With the COWF to Support Medical and Surgical Education Through the Use of AR Smart Glasses

Vuzix Corporation, a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products, announced it has partnered with the Children of War Foundation (COWF) to further the access to medical and surgical education through the use of Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses to connect healthcare professionals and surgeons serving disadvantaged populations in coordination with United States-based academic hospital institutions.

Today and in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, much of the Children of War Foundation’s ability to physically mobilize medical teams has slowed down due to travel restrictions. However, with the use of advanced smart glass technology and connectivity, they are expanding their reach more than ever before, connecting team members to its network anytime, anywhere, thanks to Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses.  This is being done in partnership with several organizations and implementors, including Vuzix Corporation, Novick Cardiac Alliance, Bernard Mevs Hospital Haiti, Ohana One, and multiple teaching hospitals within and outside the U.S. to deliver access to remote medical and surgical education.
