For doctors, real-time health monitoring means faster intervention when patient health begins to decline. Yet it’s not just about industry outcomes. With the work being conducted at one of the country’s leading research universities, leaders from both N+1 and GE HealthCare are eager to involve another key group: students.
As a founding member of the N+1 Institute, GE HealthCare plans to work closely with the UW-Madison team, mentor students during capstone and research projects, guide and leverage applied post-graduate research, and collaborate on course materials. The company will also provide patient monitoring technology, like Portrait™ Mobile, a wireless and wearable continuous monitoring solution that provides a real-time personalized view of the patient, to support coursework and research projects. For students, the arrangement offers a valuable real-world education. For the state, the collaboration will prepare a trained workforce capable of supporting the Biohealth Tech Hub that Wisconsin legislators, University leaders, and industry members worked so hard to establish.
