Optoacoustics

Optoacoustics is a private Israeli medical device and sensing technology company that develops and manufactures optical fiber-based sound, vibration, and pressure solutions for medical, industrial, and professional audio applications. In healthcare, the company is best known for MRI-compatible communication, microphone, and active noise-cancellation systems used in MRI, fMRI, interventional MRI, MEG, and related brain-imaging environments. Its products are built on a patented photonic sensing platform that avoids electronics at the sensor head, enabling operation in environments with strong electromagnetic interference. The company also sells industrial optical microphones, accelerometers, and sensing systems for demanding monitoring applications. Optoacoustics appears to be a commercial-stage platform company focused on specialized hardware rather than a therapeutic drug pipeline.
