Openwater

From a phone scan to a research workflow.

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.

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.

  1. Mobile / 3D scanning

    Capture on a phone

    A mobile scanning prototype puts 3D capture at the start of the workflow.

  2. Cloud / Data processing

    Process in the cloud

    Captured data moves from the phone to the cloud for processing.

  3. Desktop / Research tools

    Continue on desktop

    Processed results can be downloaded into Openwater’s desktop application for the next stage of work.

The wider platform

Part of Openwater’s research environment.

Open-LIFU combines focused-ultrasound hardware with software for research. Our contribution connected mobile scanning and cloud processing to that environment.
