Impact Summary from the Nonprofit
<p>It can take years and years - far too long - to get a new medical technology into general use. With something as potentially life-enhancing as focused ultrasound, such a delay is unthinkable. Every day lost translates into death, disability and suffering.</p><p>So, to speed up the process, the Focused Ultrasound Surgery Foundation was founded in October, 2006, as a small, tax-exempt organization. But it has a driving, entrepreneurial spirit, and this mission: to develop new applications for focused ultrasound, and accelerate its worldwide adoption.</p><p>It won't be easy. Getting acceptance of any major new therapy is slow, complex, cumbersome. Think of everyone who's involved - doctors, scientists, engineers, manufacturers, the FDA, National Institutes of Health, philanthropies, venture capital, insurance companies…and patients. The Foundation aims to be a catalyst, getting the interested parties working together. With a little help from friends, we can jump-start the process - dramatically shortening the time from concept to adoption.</p>
