With the rapid expansion of reality products and the growing list of terminology, eVision™ Optics has developed a comprehensive web overview to provide a greater understanding of the technology and terms in use today. The new categories are broken down into VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), MR (Mixed Reality) and, more generally, XR (Extended Reality) to cover the entire range of reality uses aligned with vision.

In light of releases in publications like Forbes (See, 5 Important Augmented And Virtual Reality Trends For 2019 Everyone Should Read)* touting the transformative effect the different reality based offerings will have in the near future. And the recent announcement by The Motley Fool (Sep 24, 2019)** that Facebook is not only acquiring technology companies in the sector, Facebook is reportedly working on AR smart glasses. eVision Optics goal is to provide a detailed overview of the differences in the technologies and terminology for companies interested in licensing eVision Optics patents for electroactive optics and wearable electronic frames.

“The most fundamental component of any reality-based product is vision, and our patents cover in-eye, over the eye, and wearable devices that make the technology possible and we offer licensing for patent protection in this growing category,” Joel Zychick, CEO, eVision™ Optics.

New to the website

https://www.evisionoptics.com/reality-innovation/

The new website’s overview reality page covers the key areas and terminology associated with each including:

• Augmented Reality (AR)
• Virtual Reality (VR)
• Mixed Reality (MR)
• Extended Reality (XR)

Reality based vision products are growing at a rapid pace in a wide and varied marketplace. Examples cross a wide spectrum from consumer products to industrial applications and will soon be found in the frontiers of outer space with the developments eVision has created. eVision™ Optics patents can be the foundation for the possibilities of instant visualization of data to benefit people in real-world environments. Personal use is in rapid development as powerful microcomputers and cloud based connectivity deliver real-time data for immersive applications as per the Facebook announcement.

Extended Reality is enabling viewing in a simulated environment in real time merged with the physical environment, one example, Autodesk*** utilizing Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Mixed Reality (MR) providing the ability to visualize a home rendering while touring a property site or the visualization of an interior design in an unfinished building to speed up and stream-line the selection processes. 

Mixed Reality (MR) for Military and law enforcement will benefit with real-time downloadable content that can protect and save lives, utilizing instantly updated data and graphics. They say “a picture is worth a thousand words” and when you consider the multitude of applications, realistic 3d modeling and data delivery served in a visual format, soon reality-based visual products will be as common as the cell phone technology we utilize every day.

“Technology trends are converging in reality reality-based vision products and for interaction they all are dependent on the vision interface. I believe that in the past, the terms, ‘Virtual Reality’ and ‘Augmented Reality’ covered most of the offerings. Today, so many new applications are being developed that people are struggling to name them. Regardless of what you call them, the most important element of the process of commercializing reality products is securing the intellectual property protection that eVision can offer,” said Tony Van Heugten, CTO, eVision™ Optics.

GenXys Health Care Systems is proud to share that Sun Life selected TreatGxplus as part of its disability management toolkit for plan sponsors. According to Sun Life, the goal is to help plan members get back to work faster and live healthier lives. The award-winning TreatGxplus solution, an advanced precision prescribing software including a pharmacogenetic test, is offered by LifeLabs, Canada’s largest diagnostic and laboratory company, in partnership with GenXys.

TreatGx, the precision prescribing application, presents over 40,000 prescription options and models out 250,000 drug interactions through its comprehensive and interactive online medication decision support engine. The cloud-based platform is accessible to patients and their healthcare providers across Canada and the United States.

“Identifying safe and effective medication options for the patient is the goal,” said Dr. Martin Dawes, a Professor of Family Medicine, Chief Scientific Officer of GenXys.”TreatGx helps us achieve that goal by supporting the development of personalized treatment plans and prescribed medication options. It is a remarkable solution that is changing how we can help patients recover more quickly.”

The adoption of pharmacogenetic solutions by leading insurance companies such as Sun Life and UnitedHealth Group reaffirms the growing role of genetics in primary care and across health systems. With the level of clinical utility and relevance provided by TreatGx, pharmacogenetics can now enable medication decision support at the point of care.

While the initial Sun Life deployment will focus on mental health and chronic pain, TreatGx covers 35+ conditions where there are high levels of pharmacogenetic evidence. Echoing the recent statement by the Association for Molecular Pathology, every health-related pharmacogenetic link in TreatGx is supported by the best clinical evidence. For clinical accuracy and relevance, the solution also includes other variables such as other conditions, concurrent medications, and biophysical data in its proprietary algorithms that set it apart from others.

Building on significant growth in Canada, GenXys is establishing its footprint in the US through strong strategic partnerships. It is also working with stakeholders from healthcare systems and labs to incorporate clinically relevant pharmacogenetics at the point of care for ‘nextgen’ prescribing.

“We are delighted that the inclusion of pharmacogenetics in primary care is becoming a reality on a mass scale. It is the most applicable and actionable use of genetics for increasing patient safety, improving population health, and reducing the cost of healthcare,” said Karl Pringle, CEO of GenXys.

About GenXys Health Care Systems Inc.

GenXys offers best-in-class precision prescribing solutions to solve healthcare’s most pressing challenges. Our precision prescribing software and pharmacogenetic solutions can prevent adverse drug reactions, a leading cause of death, and personalized drug selection to increase drug efficacy.
