They were particularly impressed by the highly developed logistics and direct connections with biomedical engineering scientists and students, and the modern research infrastructure.
Together with KTU Biomedical Engineering Institute and the team of neurologists from Lithuanian University of Health Sciences the enterprise has started to implement a joint project: the electronic system for post-stoke monitoring is being developed.
