Our Partnership with GE Healthcare

In one of our most notable industry partnerships, Dr. Taly Gilat-Schmidt and her students worked with GE Healthcare to advance its CT imaging devices. These efforts contributed to improved dose-reduction features and algorithms that improve the visualization of arteries in CT cardiac imaging.

Our Partnership with Direct Supply

In this partnership, Dr. Andrew Greene and his students worked with Direct Supply on a device to assist physical therapy patients in performing critical exercises in their homes. Direct Supply, a Milwaukee-based company, used this project to encourage biomedical engineering interns to stay in the Milwaukee area, where Direct Supply works to provide them with the resources they need to turn their ideas into innovative medical solutions.
