The challenge
Bring mobile capture into the research workflow.
Openwater’s Open-LIFU platform brings focused ultrasound into research. Our work addressed a specific part of that experience: capturing 3D data on a phone and making the processed results available in Openwater’s desktop application.
The contribution
Connect the phone, the cloud and the desktop.
- Built a mobile 3D scanning prototype.
- Developed a new mobile experience for capturing data and sending it to the cloud.
- Connected the mobile workflow with cloud-based data processing.
- Enabled processed results to be downloaded into Openwater’s desktop application for further use in its medical research software.
The result
A connected workflow from mobile 3D capture through cloud processing to the desktop tools used for the next stage of research.
Open-LIFU / The mobile connection
Capture on mobile.
Continue on desktop.
The phone is the starting point. We connected it to cloud processing and Openwater’s desktop environment so the captured data could move through the full workflow.
