At the intersection of ultrasound and startups (since this is HN), does anyone have any thoughts about that Openwater project? They are apparently working on open source ultrasonic medical devices.

I don’t actually know much about them, I just heard of them because their CEO (Mary Lou Jepsen, she’s quite famous, right?) was on the AMC podcast (months ago, actually, I was just going randomly though the back catalogue).

Tech folks pivoting to medical always throws off some alarm bells to me, but she was fairly compelling on the podcast and the basic idea seemed to make sense. Ultrasonic treatments, using diagnostic-level energies, using focusing and resonance based tricks, I guess. (It is way outside my wheelhouse, sorry if the description is inaccurate).
