Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ:VUZI) has partnered with the Children of War Foundation to further the access to medical and surgical education utilizing Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses to connect healthcare professionals and surgeons serving disadvantaged populations in coordination with US-based academic hospital institutions. 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, the company noted. However, with the use of advanced smart glass technology and connectivity, the foundation is expanding its reach more than ever before, connecting team members to its network anytime, anywhere, thanks to Vuzix M400 Smart Glasses.  READ: Vuzix receives follow-on order from major US defense contractor to further develop waveguide-based head-worn AR Display Engine Vuzix said that is being done in partnership with several organizations, including Novick Cardiac Alliance, Bernard Mevs Hospital Haiti, Ohana One, and multiple teaching hospitals within and outside the US to deliver access to remote medical and surgical education.
