Product Development
Smart Vision was developed by a joint partnership of Vision-Aid, Aravind Eye Hospitals, and an Indian tech company called Smart Health Global, as a low-cost alternative for people in developing countries.
Affordable Pricing
The most significant aspect of Smart Vision is its affordability. Smart Vision is priced at Rs. 25,000 (approx.. USD $350) which is a fraction (less than 10%) of other similar products in the market today.
Product Roadmap
The device has been rolled out in an initial pilot in 2021, to many locations in India including all the major Eye Hospitals in India, and several blind schools. Feedback was very positive. Suggestions for improvement were incorporated and now a new Gen 2.0 version of the device is being rolled out in early 2022. User testimonials can be seen in the second video below which was recorded after rolling out of Gen 2, in Jan/Feb 2022. Gen 2.0 is available for purchase currently.
