All of us at LiveMetric were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Professor George Bakris, who served on our advisory board and was a valued member of our LiveMetric family.
Professor Bakris was a pioneering force in hypertension treatment and research, a highly respected physician, and a distinguished thought leader. We will miss him profoundly. At the time of his passing, he was a Professor of Medicine in the Section of Endocrinology and the Director of the University of Chicago Comprehensive Hypertension Center.
Many of us had the privilege of working closely with him and were consistently impressed by his exceptional knowledge, particularly in hypertension, as well as his patience, kindness, and enthusiasm for new technology. His presence and contributions will be deeply missed.
“Professor Bakris served on our advisory board, and we deeply valued his contributions. His passion for our innovative technology was evident, and he eagerly anticipated seeing it reach the mass market. He was an exceptional leader and mentor, and he will be missed dearly,” said Tomer Bentzion, CEO of LiveMetric.
