Diagnose and treat diseases with light and sound
LVO stroke | Severe depression | Veterinary medicine
Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke
Challenge
Large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes are among the most severe and disabling. Yet, only about 10% of hospitals are equipped to perform the life-saving endovascular thrombectomy.
Solution
Openwater’s Open-Motion device offers a breakthrough for diagnosing LVO strokes in the field. With rapid, non-invasive LVO detection, EMS providers can make fast triage decisions.
Severe Depression
Challenge
Severe depression (major depressive disorder) is a serious disorder that significantly impairs daily function. However, many forms of treatment rely on pharmaceuticals that can become addictive.
Solution
Studies using the Openwater Open-LIFU device have shown patients entered remission in over 30% of the cases.
Glioblastoma Tumor Reduction
Challenge
Glioblastoma tumor reduction presents significant challenges due to its infiltrative and heterogeneity nature of the cells, and other factors.
Solution
Using low intensity focused ultrasound, Openwater devices have shown stunning tumor shrinkage on a study of 38 mice with glioblastoma.
Veterinary Medicine
Challenge
Veterinary medicine faces significant challenges such as limited access to advanced imaging, high costs of traditional equipment, and complex regulatory pathways for new devices. These barriers makes it difficult for practices to adopt the latest technologies.
Solution
Openwater offers noninvasive imaging and targeted therapies in a portable and modular platform. Our devices enable real-time blood flow measurements following musculoskeletal injuries, and accelerate healing of tendon, ligament, and bone injuries through low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU).
