Prof. Arminas Ragauskas
Head of Health Telematics Sc. Inst. at Kaunas University of
Technology (Lithuania)
Arminas Ragauskas is a Lithuanian
scientist, inventor, and professor specializing in non-invasive
medical diagnostics. He founded the Health Telematics Science
Institute at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) and has authored
over 100 scientific papers with 90+ patents.
His key inventions include the Vittamed 205 intracranial pressure
meter, Vittamed 505 cerebral autoregulation monitor, Archimedes a
non-invasive pulse wave monitor, revolutionizing brain health
diagnostics.
Recognized with multiple awards, including Lithuanian Inventor of
the Year, he has secured major R&D grants from the European
Commission, NASA, and the U.S. Department of Defense. His work
continues to shape the future of neuromonitoring technologies.
Arminas Ragauskas is a distinguished Lithuanian scientist, inventor,
and professor renowned for his pioneering work in non-invasive
medical diagnostics. He earned his degree in Electronic Engineering
from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) in 1964, followed by a
doctorate in Measurement Sciences in 1969.
In 1993, Professor Ragauskas founded the Telematics Science
Laboratory at KTU, now known as the Health Telematics Science
Institute, where he currently serves as director. His research
focuses on developing innovative measurement technologies for the
human body, particularly in neurology.
Throughout his illustrious career spanning over five decades,
Professor Ragauskas has authored more than 100 peer-reviewed
scientific papers and holds over 90 granted or pending patent
families. Notably, he co-invented several groundbreaking medical
devices, including the non-invasive intracranial pressure meter
Vittamed 205, the cerebral autoregulation monitor Vittamed 505, and
the non-invasive pulse wave monitor, Archimedes.
In recognition of his contributions to health telematics, Professor
Ragauskas received the Lithuanian Inventor of the Year award in 1981
and 1983. He has also secured funding through more than 40
Lithuanian and international R&D grants from organizations including
the European Commission, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S.
Department of the Army, and NASA.
Professor Ragauskas continues to advance the field of medical
technology, with his latest inventions focusing on non-invasive
monitoring of intracranial volume and pressure pulse waves. These
innovations offer valuable insights into brain health and function,
further cementing his legacy as a trailblazer in medical
diagnostics.
