Congratulations to the Lubar College of Business alumni who were honored at this year’s UWM Alumni Association Awards Ceremony!
Impact Award
Deepak Arora
Founder and CEO
Wearable Technologies
Deepak’s motivation for founding Wearable Technologies is as poignant as it is personal: to prevent others from the pain and loss he and his family experienced when his daughter drowned. The longtime IT and health care technology executive leveraged his artificial intelligence expertise into developing wearables that scan environments for danger and alert caregivers about potential accidents before they happen. It’s led to a partnership with Froedtert South for remote patient monitoring and acclaim from USA Today and CIO Tech World.
