Learn how Mary Lou Jepsen is transforming healthcare: IGNITION 2018
Mary Lou Jepsen left behind her successful career in the tech
world — which included top executive roles at Facebook, Google,
and Intel — to found Openwater, a startup focused on
creating a wearable device that Jepsen says will provide
MRI-resolution imaging.
Jepsen gave a jaw-dropping talk at TED in April, complete with
raw chicken, buckets of blood, and lasers. On a darkened stage,
Jepsen demonstrated how bodies are translucent to red light, and
how her optical-imaging system can scatter and capture
near-infrared light to diagnose cancers, tumors, and other
diseases buried deep within our own bodies.
Jepsen is an inventor on over 200 patents, and has been recognized on
Time magazine’s Time 100 list
as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Jepsen will take the IGNITION stage in November to explain where
she is in her research and the road to productization. At
IGNITION, she will share updates on Openwater’s progress and how
she thinks the technology will transform the healthcare industry
and society.
