At the HIMSS Asia Pac 19 Conference in Bangkok, Thailand in early October, Omar Sunna, Director, Global Product Management, GE Healthcare, shared his insights on some of the data and workflow-related challenges currently faced by healthcare providers and how some of GE’s solutions and applications can help tackle or address some of these issues.

Healthcare IT News went to Princess Alexandra Hospital in England earlier this month to speak to staff about the impact of the new system.

AI can save time and improve diagnosis accuracy thereby having a huge potential for saving peoples’ lives,” said Caroline Clarke, CEO, Philips ASEAN Pacific.

LogixLab's AI-powered diagnostic tool is helping innovate approaches to medical imaging, says Dr. Mohd Hanif Abdul Gaus, the company's director of health technology.

As part of its work at the Center for Intelligent Imaging, or ci2, Nvidia will help the academic medical center "improve the value of medical imaging for the individual patient."

In the first six months, a quality improvement initiative helped realize a 662% increase in the number of patients identified each month for follow-up – from eight per month to 61.

The use of AI in medical imaging or Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), such as GE’s Centricity Universal Viewer, can be a great way to reduce the ever-increasing workloads of radiologists and clinicians, since AI is particularly effective in detection and segmentation of any irregularities in imaging data and providing radiologists/clinicians additional diagnostic confidence.

With this upgrade, Pathology and Diagnostic Imaging Overviews are automatically available from Clinical Information System applications that implemented the My Health Record Document List.

Last week, GE Healthcare officially launched the Edison AI platform in Shanghai, China at its Digital Ecosystem Forum event.

The platform, Critical Care Suite, developed in partnership with UC San Francisco and powered by GE's Edison AI technology, can help radiologists prioritize cases involving collapsed lungs.
