Christine Scheible

CEO, Quantum Technology Associates, Inc.

Christine Scheible’s IT career has spanned a period of over 25 years and has been characterized by her relentless pursuit of innovative technology solutions to business
and healthcare challenges. These innovations have included: a GPS solution to provide real-time advanced warning of severe weather conditions at US Airways; providing PDAs to aircraft mechanics for them to access schematics and to track parts replaced on an aircraft; writing an assembler randomizing routine that was used to speed up the storage and retrieval of customer and account records in an IMS database (and was later sold to IBM); and designing an application that provided a retail banking customer service center with data that enabled them to more effectively cross sell products and services, among many others.

Since forming Quantum Technology Associates in 2004, Christine’s focus on innovation has continued. Quantum has developed software for the first home dialysis machine. Under contract with Bausch & Lomb, Quantum is writing software for a new diagnostic instrument for the measurement and analysis of human vision and the structure of the eye. Her company has developed a software-controlled mechanical device used to adjust the Lap-Band, a new medical device used as an alternative to gastric bypass surgery, thus eliminating an invasive medical procedure for patients. She now has her sights on developing and introducing software for use in medical simulators that will allow medical professionals and medical students to see 3D objects without using 3D glasses.

Christine also makes time to share her expertise with others. She has been a University of Rochester Simon School mentor since 2004. She is a Rotarian math tutor for second graders. She is lending her IT expertise to a Rotary program which will allow Rochester School #8 students to publish a newspaper.
