What if you could diagnose stroke, treat cancer, and cure depression with a smartphone-sized device that costs $1,000 instead of millions? In this talk, Mary Lou Jepsen demonstrates her revolutionary handheld medical devices that use ultrasound and infrared light to selectively target diseased cells while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. She covers how her team achieved 100% remission in deadly glioblastoma cancer in mice, moved nearly half of treatment-resistant depression patients into remission, and why making all 68 patents open source could democratize healthcare globally while reducing medical device costs by 93%.
Mary Lou Jepsen is a serial hardtech entrepreneur and former MIT professor with a PhD in physics from Brown University. She previously founded multiple multi-billion dollar companies, left Facebook to start her current venture, and recently raised $54 million to bring these breakthrough medical technologies to market as open-source solutions.
This talk was recorded at Vision Weekend US 2024. To see the slides and more talks from the event, please visit our Youtube channel.
