GE Healthcare advancing machine learning, population health, cloud-based imaging at HIMSS17

Heading into HIMSS17, GE Healthcare is developing a range of technologies, from analytics and cloud-based imaging to machine learning. Building on its GE Health Cloud, in fact, the company is enabling care teams to store, view, analyze and share images in ways they could not before storage and compute power were available in the cloud. "We're working at building analytics into every part of our business and applying digital from a horizontal approach across all of GE Healthcare," GE Healthcare spokeswoman Kelley Sousa said. Take Project Northstar, for instance. GE's solution for helping practices transition to value-based care, which was announced last year, combines population health, care delivery, patient engagement and financial management in an integrated, interoperable software solution.
