UWM & Medical College of Wisconsin Team Up To Create NeuroMapper App

Jason Rieve
Tom Luljak and guests

Today, on this edition of UWM Today, our topic is brain surgery.

It’s a story of a fascinating collaboration between surgeons and scientists at the Medical College of Wisconsin and UW-Milwaukee’s App Brewery.

The two teams worked to develop a web based app that is used to monitor a patient’s brain activity during surgery.

Joining us in the studio are Dr. David Sabsevitz, associate professor in the Neuropsychology department at the Medical College and Dustin Hahn, project Manager for UWM’s App Brewery, who never imagined his work would be used in operating rooms around the country.

Tom Luljak hosted UWM Today on WUWM for more than two decades and is the inaugural host of Curious Campus.
