Focused ultrasound and robotics for treating tumours without incisions

 The selected finalists of Meet in Italy for Life Sciences - Startup Breeding 2023 will benefit from an entrepreneurial path with in-depth thematic analysis and coaching sessions with industry experts to refine their business approach and the communication of their innovative value. This is an important opportunity for a young spin-off such as Soundsafe Care, which aims to commercialise a device for treating tumours without incisions and without toxicity. The device makes use of focused ultrasound, an innovative technology that makes it possible to treat the target tissue in a localised zone, without incisions or side effects for the surrounding tissues. A focused ultrasound beam at a specific point produces tissue ablation and subsequent cell necrosis. This solution makes use of a robotic arm that allows the ultrasound beam to be aimed in a precise, automated and intuitive way for the operator.
