A Team of Mission-Driven Innovators

Since our earliest days, Beyond Lucid Technologies’s mission was to move critical data across the care continuum in real-time — cutting costs and improving efficiencies in the process — while protecting Responders from the risks of their job.

Like everyone who reads this, we have beloved friends and families who have faced death and disability, stared down cancers and stroke, and seen that the healthcare ecosystem — in the U.S. and around the globe — is often made scarier because the parts don’t communicate.

As Mobile Medicine evolves, our innovations will, too. BLT’s work on our platforms will never be finished. Rural health, military medicine, and the undersung tragedy of crashes on rural roads will always be key foci for us.

Christian Witt, MBA

Co-Founder / President & CTO

Chris oversees internal corporation operations, financial modeling and planning, and various technical functions including GUI and CDA/CCDA implementation. Chris began his career as an engineer working in computer-related fields pertaining to semiconductor devices, Internet applications, custom software, and custom hardware, and he has a variety of technical roles at two startups and several blue-chip companies including HP, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing, where he occupied escalating program management roles.

Among Chris's technical specialties is the acquisition and processing of simultaneous complex data streams: at Boeing, he developed several multi-million dollar augmented reality systems that integrate input data from up to 15 separate sensors to increase combat awareness for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The development of one of these systems, a wire detection system for helicopters, led to the acquisition of a billion-dollar contract from the United States government in 2005. Chris co-authored a journal article published in the Journal of Public Health Informatics, and a granted United States patent on a “System & Method for Post-Vehicle Crash Intelligence.”

Following this success, in 2007 he was named program manager of a new Boeing initiative and led his team to receive a $25 million grant to invest in the development of unmanned aerial vehicles. Chris worked on the team responsible for the integration of National City Bank payment products into PNC Bank. In addition to being principally responsible Beyond Lucid Technologies’s financial statements and resource planning, he oversees the engineering team. Chris holds a BS degree in Computer Engineering from Brigham Young University, and an MBA from the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University.
