More on the Renewed Collaboration
Building on a successful first seven years, this strategic Care Alliance includes new components that will help Hartford HealthCare stay up to date with the most recent GE HealthCare’s technology as it develops, minimizing technology obsolescence and optimizing clinical capabilities.
The partnership includes GE HealthCare patient monitoring, anesthesia, maternal infant care, and diagnostic cardiology technologies. It will also expand patients' access to the most up-to-date imaging technology from GE HealthCare. Potential benefits include shorter scan times, shorter wait times for care, and improved diagnostic assessment accuracy for clinicians.
Under the parameters of the renewed collaboration, GE HealthCare specialists will be on hand to perform maintenance and repairs on all equipment as part of the extended service agreement. Furthermore, Hartford HealthCare's fleet of imaging technology will be enhanced with the newest tools and technology, thanks to routine equipment upgrades.
The comprehensive framework for optimizing the performance and durability of Hartford HealthCare's equipment with an emphasis on patient safety will be maintained through the cooperative connection with facilities, operations, clinical engineering, and GE HealthCare's project management and service teams.
Together with some of the current MRI, CT, PET/CT, and X-ray machines, GE HealthCare and Hartford HealthCare will also carry out build-in-place upgrades to update outdated systems with lower construction costs and less waste, equipment downtime and interference with patient care.
Many of the new imaging systems in the collaborative effort will include tested AI and machine learning software, which will augment clinical expertise. An example is Critical Care Suit 2.0, which is intended to speed up diagnosis, make the best treatment choices, and enhance patient outcomes. Another example is AIR Recon DL, which is likely to employ AI to enhance image reconstruction, using deep learning algorithms to improve the quality and speed of MRI scans.
Industry Prospects
Per a report by MarketsandMarkets, the global AI in healthcare market size is valued at $20.9 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $148.4 billion by 2029 at a growth rate of 48.1%.
Growth of AI in the healthcare market is driven by the generation of large and complex healthcare datasets, the pressing need to reduce healthcare costs, improving computing power and declining hardware costs, and the rising number of partnerships among different domains in the healthcare sector.
