Dr. Mary Lou Jepsen: Fighting Disease with Technology
Openwater was founded in 2016 to explore an idea: What if advancements in fields as diverse as consumer electronics, semiconductor device physics, and artificial intelligence could come together for a future where the profound act of curing disease becomes a reality for all, transcending borders and transforming the course of human health?
This evening, Dr. Mary Lou Jepsen will talk about—and show—some of Openwater’s devices: Open-LIFU and Open-Motion.
Enjoy an appetizer and a glass of wine or sparkling water and prepare to be impressed!
