Openwater

Very thoughtful piece today on www.openwater.health - on how hashtag #opensource and impact are coming together and might create a hashtag #PrecisionHealth revolution. You can reserve our open-source systems now here: https://lnkd.in/gPwtGiUJ By Jonathan D. Grinstein, PhD https://lnkd.in/gYxVixRY

We’ve hit a milestone achievement of raising $100 million in total funding to commercialize our technology platform and advance our mission of making advanced medical care accessible worldwide. #Openwater's healthcare platform combines high-resolution infrared imaging, precision-tuned ultrasound, and targeted electromagnetic fields. This integration enables unprecedented visualization, monitoring, and treatment of biological issues. The technology can selectively destroy cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unaffected, similar to how an opera singer's voice can shatter a specific wine glass without disturbing others. The convergence of recent advancements in optoelectronics, precision electronics, and resonance-based therapies, coupled with the growing global demand for accessible and effective medical solutions, creates a unique opportunity to transform healthcare. Openwater's platform addresses these needs by potentially alleviating the economic burden on healthcare systems and individuals worldwide. Founder and CEO, Mary Lou Jepsen says: "As a brain tumor survivor, I'm not just developing technology; I'm fighting for my life and the lives of millions like me. We've shrunk brain tumors and treated depression using lower-intensity sound waves than fetal ultrasounds. The human body is an incredible machine, but like any machine, it needs the right tools for maintenance and repair. With Openwater, we're creating those tools, using the fundamental forces of nature - light and sound - to diagnose and heal at the cellular level. Our goal is nothing less than democratizing advanced healthcare, making it accessible to everyone, everywhere." The convergence of recent advancements in optoelectronics, precision electronics, and resonance-based therapies, coupled with the growing global demand for accessible and effective medical solutions, creates a unique opportunity to transform healthcare. Openwater's platform addresses these needs by potentially alleviating the economic burden on healthcare systems and individuals worldwide. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown promising results, including shrinking glioblastoma tumors in mice and treating severe depression in humans. Collaborations with institutions including UCLA, the University of Arizona, the University of Pennsylvania, and Brown University have validated the technology's potential across multiple medical fields.

Happy Wednesday! In this Openwater Spotlight, we shine a light on the laser system central to our Open-Motion blood flow measurement platform. While these systems used to be costly and cumbersome, we're now developing a new generation of affordable, compact devices designed specifically for this purpose. These will soon be available in large quantities to our partners. Take a peek and get excited. Pre-orders (https://lnkd.in/gPwtGiUJ) are open now, and we're set to begin shipping production units next year! Read the Spotlight Here: https://lnkd.in/gjaAeEZM

The team has been hard at work developing Open-LIFU, our therapeutic ultrasound hardware platform. In this week’s Spotlight, we highlight some of the goals and challenges associated with this effort, and offer a sneak peak at some in-work design concepts. As always, we welcome any feedback from the community!
