Openwater’s Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) platform for research. The platform is flexible, easy-to-use, and can deliver LIFU to targets located nearly anywhere in the head or body. While Open-LIFU 2.0 devices are ready to set up “out of the box”, their open-source design allows customization and modification to support clinical research across diverse users and applications. At the same time, Open-LIFU 2.0’s controlled design features make it an effective solution for developing regulated medical devices that are portable and low-cost. By filling the gap between expensive research hardware available for proof-of-concept studies and commercially manufacturable hardware suitable for regulated medical devices, Open-LIFU 2.0 greatly facilitates the translation of novel therapies from bench to bedside.
