ALSI, also known as BoneScore, is a medical equipment manufacturer based in Santa Barbara, California. The company focuses on enabling quantified-touch for surgical robots and medical devices, with a core emphasis on tactile assessment of tissue, particularly bone, and the ability to measure materials in vivo or in situ. Its technology supports real-time tactile feedback, which targets surgeons and physicians as its primary users, aiming to provide measurable insights into tissue strength and quality during procedures. ALSI traces its origins to physicist Dr. Paul Hansma’s development of Reference Point Indentation, which led to the BoneScore platform and the first FDA-cleared tactile bone assessment device. The organization positions itself within the medical device field by pioneering tactile tissue measurement and providing standardized reference values through its product lineage. A recent development noted is the ongoing evolution of its RPI-based platform and its FDA-cleared clinical embodiment, serving a niche in tactile assessment for medical applications. The company operates with a small team and maintains a presence in the United States at its Santa Barbara headquarters.
