Blue Belt Technologies, Inc., a Carnegie Mellon University spin-off company, was formed in 2003 to commercialize novel device solutions for medical interventions. Blue Belt draws from the extensive experience of its research team to develop devices in computer-assisted surgery and diagnosis. Our mission is to develop new components for the MIS (minimally-invasive surgery) toolbox of the future through collaboration with leading research institutions, technology licensing, and our own research and development.

Our tools provide new supporting technologies to enhance planning, localization, visualization, and surgical action. In addition to developing new ideas internally, we continue to collaborate with local research groups at Carnegie Mellon University and University of Pittsburgh, and at hospitals of the UPMC and West Penn Allegheny health systems.
