Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Business Operations | 1. Organization and Business Operations Vivani Medical, Inc. (“Vivani,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms) is a preclinical stage biopharmaceutical company which develops miniaturized, subdermal implants utilizing its proprietary NanoPortal™ technology to enable long-term, near constant-rate delivery of a broad range of medicines to treat chronic diseases. Vivani uses this platform technology to develop and potentially commercialize drug implant candidates, alone or in collaboration with pharmaceutical company partners to address a leading cause of poor clinical outcomes in the treatment of chronic disease, medication non-adherence. For example, approximately 50% of patients treated for type 2 diabetes are non-adherent to their medicines which can lead to poor clinical outcomes. We are developing a portfolio of miniature, sub-dermal drug implant candidates that, unlike most oral and injectable medicines, are designed with the goal of guaranteeing adherence by delivering therapeutic drug levels for up to 6 months or the life of the implant. In addition, by leveraging our proprietary NanoPortal implant technology we can design implants that deliver minimally fluctuating drug levels that may improve the tolerability profiles for certain medicines for which side effects are associated with fluctuating drug levels such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s). In February 2022, we announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement between Nano Precision Medical, Inc. (“NPM”) and Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. (“Second Sight”), pursuant to which NPM became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Second Sight. On August 30, 2022, the merger closed and the combined company of Nano Precision Medical (“NPM” and Second Sight Medical Products (“SSMP)” was renamed Vivani Medical, Inc, While the primary focus of Vivani is to develop and ultimately commercialize the drug implant business from legacy company NPM, Vivani’s new management team remains committed to identifying and exploring strategic options for the further advancement of the neuromodulation business of former legacy company Second Sight which includes development of its pioneering neurostimulation systems to help patients recover critical body functions. On December 28, 2022, the neuromodulation assets and certain of its liabilities were contributed to Cortigent, Inc. a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Vivani, in exchange for 20 million shares of common stock of Cortigent. In March 2023, Vivani announced the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the proposed initial public offering of Cortigent. Cortigent is expected to continue to be majority-owned by Vivani immediately following the initial public offering. Subject to completion of Cortigent’s initial public offering, Vivani intends to focus exclusively on further development of the drug implant business. Vivani plans to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the US Food and Drug Administration to support a first in human (FIH) study with lead asset NPM-119 (GLP-1 implant). Following an acceptable IND submission, Vivani plans to initiate the FIH study, named LIBERATE-1, which is a Randomized, Phase 2, 12-week investigation of NPM-119 in patients with type 2 diabetes. The IND filing and the initiation of LIBERATE-1 remain on track to occur mid-2023. Agreement and Plan of Merger with Nano Precision Medical, Inc. On February 4, 2022, Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. (“Second Sight”) entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Nano Precision Medical, Inc. (“NPM”). The Merger was approved by the shareholders of Second Sight on July 27, 2022, and closed on August 30, 2022. Upon consummation of the Merger, NPM became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Second Sight. Concurrent with to the Merger, Second Sight changed its name to Vivani Medical, Inc. and changed its trading symbol from EYES to VANI, and trades under the ticker VANI on the NASDAQ market. Certain investors and members of the NPM board of directors are also investors and members of the board of directors of Second Sight. Under the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the securities of NPM converted into the right to receive shares of Second Sight’s common stock representing 77.32 On February 4, 2022, in connection with the Merger, Second Sight and NPM also entered into a Simple Agreement for Future Equity (“SAFE”) whereby Second Sight provided to NPM an investment advance of $ 8 The Merger involved a change of control and was accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, Second Sight was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes with NPM as the acquirer. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed by NPM were recorded at fair value under Accounting Codification Standard (“ASC 805”), Business on August 30, 2022 (the “Acquisition Date”), NPM (a calendar year-end entity) was deemed to have acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares and voting interest of Second Sight, Medical, Inc The acquisition-date fair value of consideration transferred totaled $ 54.4 million 13,136 4.14 The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands): At August 30, 2022 Cash $ 55,374 Property and equipment 99 Prepaid expenses 1,657 Right of use assets 140 Other assets 56 Total identifiable assets acquired 57,326 Current liabilities (3,913 ) Right of use liabilities (151 ) Total liabilities assumed 4,064 Net identifiable assets acquired $ 53,262 The SAFE loan of $ 8.0 The following table summarizes the calculation of the gain on bargain purchase (in thousands): Total consideration $ 54,385 SAFE loan forgiven (8,000 ) Less net identifiable assets acquired (53,262 ) Gain on bargain purchase $ 6,877 Because NPM purchased 100 6.9 We recognized $ 0.7 Pro forma consolidated net loss as if Second Sight had been included in the consolidated results was $ 6.1 Liquidity From inception, our operations have been funded primarily through the sales of our common stock and warrants. The completion of our reverse merger with Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. provided $ 53.3 million 55.4 million Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that our business is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with a business with no revenue that is developing novel medical devices, including limitations on our operating capital resources. We have incurred recurring operating losses and negative operating cash flows since inception, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. We estimate that currently available cash will provide sufficient funds to enable the Company to meet its planned obligations into the second half of 2024. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | 2. Basis of Presentation, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Basis of Presentation These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and following the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. In our opinion, the unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and our results of operations and cash flows for periods presented. These statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period or any future year or period. Income taxes - interim periods In calculating the provision for interim income taxes, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the period. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Some of the more significant estimates include the purchase price of net assets acquired in the Merger, useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of equity-based compensation and evaluation of going concern. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Net income/loss per share Basic net income/loss per share is computed using net income/loss from operations divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income/loss per share represents net income/loss from operations divided by the weighted- average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of shares subject to warrants and share-based awards with exercise prices less than the average market price of common stock for the period, to the extent their inclusion would be dilutive. The computation of the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for diluted EPS excludes the following potential common shares as of March 31, 2023, and 2022 (in thousands): Schedule of net loss per share March 31, March 31, Shares underlying warrants outstanding 10,311 9,074 Shares underlying stock options outstanding 6,055 4,583 The shares underlying the SAFE obligation were issuable only if the Merger were to be terminated. These contingently issuable shares were excluded from the dilutive computation because conversion was not “probable” as defined in the accounting literature. However, if the evaluation met the probability threshold, the shares would be excluded from diluted EPS since their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. Significant Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies are set forth in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if adopted, will have a material effect on the financial statements. |

Fair Value Measurements | 4. Fair Value Measurements The authoritative guidance with respect to fair value establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels and requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of three categories, as presented below. Disclosure as to transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2, and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, is also required. Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability that we have the ability to access as of the measurement date. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include active-exchange traded securities and exchange-based derivatives. Level 2. Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs include fixed income securities, non-exchange-based derivatives, mutual funds, and fair-value hedges. Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data for the asset or liability which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 3 inputs include infrequently-traded non-exchange-based derivatives and commingled investment funds, and are measured using present value pricing models. Cash equivalents, which includes money market funds, are the only financial instrument measured and recorded at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet, and they are valued using Level 1 inputs. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands): Schedule of Money Market Funds at their Level within the Fair Value Hierarchy Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 March 31, 2023 (unaudited): Money market funds $ 36,527 $ 36,527 $ — $ — December 31, 2022: Money market funds $ 44,417 $ 44,417 $ — $ — |

Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Lease costs are recognized in the income statement over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we used our estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. On February 1, 2023, we entered into a lease agreement, effective March 1, 2023 22,158 lease 14,823 square feet of office space at 27200 Tourney Road, Valencia, California 91355.

Commitments and Contingencies | 10. Commitments and Contingencies Clinical Trial Agreements Based upon FDA approval of Argus II, which was obtained in February 2013, we were required to collect follow-up data from subjects enrolled in our pre-approval trial for a period of up to ten years post-implant, which was extended through the year 2019. This requirement to collect follow-up data was halted in 2020 with FDA approval. In addition, we conducted three post-market studies to comply with U.S. FDA, French, and European post-market surveillance regulations and requirements and are conducting an early feasibility clinical study of Orion. We have contracted with various universities, hospitals, and medical practices to provide these services. Payments are based on procedures performed for each subject and are charged to clinical and regulatory expense as incurred. Total amounts charged to expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $ 26,000 Lease Agreement Vivani entered into a triple net lease agreement for a single building with 43,645 square feet of space in Alameda, California on November 21, 2022. The stated term of the lease commences on June 1, 2023 and terminates on September 30, 2033, ten years and 4 months. Payments increase annually from $ 2,676,311 3,596,784 1.4 September 30, 2023 Litigation, Claims and Assessments Three oppositions filed by Pixium Vision SA (“Pixium”) are pending in the European Patent Office, each challenging the validity of a European patent owned by us. The outcomes of the challenges are not certain, however, if successful, they may affect our ability to block competitors from utilizing our patented technology. We do not believe a successful challenge will have a material effect on our ability to manufacture and sell our products, or otherwise have a material effect on our operations. As described in the Company’s 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) for a proposed business combination with Pixium. In response to a press release by Pixium dated March 24, 2021, and subsequent communications between us and Pixium, our Board of Directors determined that the business combination with Pixium was not in the best interest of our shareholders. On April 1, 2021, we gave notice to Pixium that we were terminating the MOU between the parties and seeking an amicable resolution of termination amounts that may be due, however no assurance can be given that an amicable resolution will be reached. We accrued $ 1,000,000 Pixium indicated that it considered this termination wrongful, rejected the Company’s offers, but retained the $ 1,000,000 5.6 On December 9, 2022, the Company received notice that the Paris Commercial Court has rendered its judgement, including finding that the Company’s termination of the MOU was not valid. In the judgement, the Company was ordered to pay to Pixium the amount of €2,500,000 minus a €947,780 credit for the $1,000,000 already paid for, a net amount payable of approximately €1,552,220. The Company may appeal the decision within three months from the date of service which was February 28, 2023. The Company recorded a charge of $1,675,000 for the year ended December 31, 2022, related to this matter but plans to raise any and all legal challenges to this preliminary judgement We are party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. It is our opinion that the outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on our results of operations, however, the results of litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and following the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. In our opinion, the unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and our results of operations and cash flows for periods presented. These statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period or any future year or period. |
Income taxes - interim periods | Income taxes - interim periods In calculating the provision for interim income taxes, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes |
Use of estimates | Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the period. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Some of the more significant estimates include the purchase price of net assets acquired in the Merger, useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of equity-based compensation and evaluation of going concern. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |
Net income/loss per share | Net income/loss per share Basic net income/loss per share is computed using net income/loss from operations divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income/loss per share represents net income/loss from operations divided by the weighted- average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of shares subject to warrants and share-based awards with exercise prices less than the average market price of common stock for the period, to the extent their inclusion would be dilutive. The computation of the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding for diluted EPS excludes the following potential common shares as of March 31, 2023, and 2022 (in thousands): Schedule of net loss per share March 31, March 31, Shares underlying warrants outstanding 10,311 9,074 Shares underlying stock options outstanding 6,055 4,583 The shares underlying the SAFE obligation were issuable only if the Merger were to be terminated. These contingently issuable shares were excluded from the dilutive computation because conversion was not “probable” as defined in the accounting literature. However, if the evaluation met the probability threshold, the shares would be excluded from diluted EPS since their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. |
Significant Accounting Policies | Significant Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies are set forth in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included within our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023. |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements We do not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if adopted, will have a material effect on the financial statements. |
