Medical visualization of focused ultrasound beams converging on a brain target

Focused ultrasound brain-access platform

Brain access without the MRI bottleneck.

HoloSoniq is developing a portable, MRI-free focused ultrasound platform designed to enable targeted, repeatable delivery of therapeutics across the blood-brain barrier.

The delivery problem

Promising CNS therapies need a better route to the target.

Many promising CNS programs are limited less by therapeutic concept than by delivery. The broader vision is a universal brain-access infrastructure layer for drugs, biologics, gene therapies, cell therapies, and next-generation neurotherapeutics.

How it works

Three technology pillars, one deployable workflow.

01

Acoustic holography

3D-printed holographic lenses are designed for high-fidelity volumetric beam shaping, enabling complex targets without hundreds of sequential sonications.

02

Predictive control

Machine-learning models use passive cavitation signals to anticipate microbubble instability and support safer, more reproducible blood-brain barrier opening.

03

MRI-free navigation

Nonlinear acoustic feedback, optical registration, and robotic positioning are being integrated to reduce reliance on specialized MRI-guided treatment suites.

Development status

Built from de-risked research pillars.

Validated components

NIH- and NSF-supported work has demonstrated accurate transcranial targeting, localized barrier opening, and enhanced therapeutic delivery in preclinical studies.

Protected platform

The intellectual property portfolio includes issued U.S. patents and pending applications around ultrasound focusing, acoustic holograms, and ML control.

Translational focus

The current milestone is an integrated prototype for phantom, rodent, ex vivo skull, and large-animal validation on the path toward first-in-human readiness.

What comes next

A practical path from research platform to clinical translation.

  1. Prototype integration

    Combine holographic lenses, robotic positioning, passive cavitation detection, and control software.

  2. Preclinical validation

    Run water-tank, phantom, rodent, ex vivo human-skull, and large-animal studies.

  3. Regulatory engagement

    Define safety, software, manufacturing, and performance evidence with FDA CDRH feedback.

  4. Partner deployments

    Collaborate with translational research centers, academic labs, and CNS therapeutic developers.

Collaborate

We are building with clinical, research, and industry partners.

HoloSoniq is seeking conversations with focused ultrasound researchers, CNS therapeutic developers, translational funders, research centers, and strategic medical-technology partners.
