Johan obtained his degree in Medical Sciences from Groningen University and has worked at Medtronic from 1997 to 2015 in a variety of sales and marketing positions in the cardiac rhythm management division of Medtronic, and has significant hands-on experience with the introduction of CRT devices in several EU markets and in the Middle East area. From 2016 to 2021 Johan was senior director international at Bioness, that has been acquired by Bioventus in 2021.

Frebus received his PhD degree in April 2014, defending his thesis entitled “Technical solutions to improve cardiac regenerative therapy”. He is also the inventor (together with Dr. Chamuleau) of the Company’s first patent, filed in April 2014 entitled: “Cardiac imaging processing for interventions” based on the work for his PhD thesis and which is now part of CART-Tech’s core technology. He obtained his MSc degree in Control Systems Engineering from the University of Hertfordshire, and in Medical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology.

Trained as a technical designer (MSc in Industrial Design Engineering, Delft University of Technology), Ninke developed herself as a QA/RA specialist. She has extensive expertise in the design and development of medical devices, set-up and maintenance of Technical Files, requirements engineering, product and process risk management, usability engineering, quality management system development and implementation, auditing, training, and coaching.
She has extensive (> 10 years) experience with safety critical design and quality assurance throughout the entire development life cycle of medical devices, including the CE marking process and regulatory submissions in Canada and Australia. Her background is in software and hardware for active medical devices in different areas of the medical field (dialysis, insulin infusion, radiology, radiotherapy).

Daan is a strongly motivated and experienced software engineer. He earned his PhD degree in Cognitive Neuropsychiatry for fMRI brain research at Utrecht University and obtained his MSc degree in Cognitive Neuroscience from Groningen University. Since 2008 Daan has worked as a software engineer and teamlead for several video (Vidigo, United Broadcast Facilities) and medical (Brain Science Tools, Brain Carta, MILabs, 3mensio) software companies. Daan loves medical imaging technology and is grateful to work on innovations that help clinicians and surgeons perform novel and more precise interventions.

Emanuele is a biomedical engineer with a PhD in cardiovascular mechanics. He is deeply passionate about developing software technologies that enable smooth and efficient clinical decision making. His academic experience started at the University of Genoa, continued at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm and concluded at the Eindhoven University of Technology. There he was selected as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow for the project “MUSICARE” (MUltiSectoral Integrative approaches to CArdiac caRE). During his fellowship, he developed two modelling tools to predict short- and long-term outcomes of cardiac diseases, generating new insights on cardiac growth and remodelling. In September 2020, he defended his PhD thesis, entitled “Strategies to model cardiac growth”. At CART-Tech, he is working as an Application Engineer, working along with software engineers and physicians to improve image guided therapies.

Minh Phuong is our Senior Software Engineer, holding a PhD in Biomedical Imaging. He has a deep passion for creating innovative products that enhance quality of life. His academic journey started at HUST in Vietnam where he studied Biomedical Engineering followed by 2 master’s programs in Bioengineering at the University of Porto, and Electrical and Computer Engineering at UNIST in South Korea. His journey continued with a PhD in Biomedical Imaging at Delft University of Technology. During his years with MILabs, he developed high-resolution ex vivo single-photon and positron emission tomography and led the development of an innovative scanning-focused nuclear microscope. Now at CART-Tech, he applies his extensive knowledge and expertise to further enhance our pioneering products.
