GE HealthCare and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced a strategic collaboration to develop AI applications aimed at improving medical diagnostics and patient care. GE HealthCare will use AWS’s cloud and AI services to create new generative AI-powered workflows designed to streamline healthcare operations, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and promote equitable care.
“With over a century of innovation, GE HealthCare is committed to advancing precision care,” said Peter Arduini, President and CEO of GE HealthCare. “Our collaboration with AWS harnesses AI’s power to redefine clinical workflows and care delivery.”
GE HealthCare will leverage Amazon Bedrock, a managed service providing secure access to leading AI models, to develop and deploy custom AI applications. This partnership aims to enhance efficiency, care delivery, and the patient experience. “With AWS, GE HealthCare can build transformative clinical models and applications,” said Matt Garman, CEO of AWS.
GE HealthCare’s developers plan to use Amazon Q Developer for real-time code suggestions and Amazon Q Business to analyze clinical and operational data, reducing the cognitive burden on physicians and increasing efficiency. This collaboration is expected to shorten clinical application development cycles from years to months, accelerating the delivery of new healthcare solutions.
“Combining generative AI with our expertise, we’re igniting a new era in healthcare,” said Dr. Taha Kass-Hout, Global Chief Science and Technology Officer at GE HealthCare. “Our work with AWS aims to make medical care simpler, more efficient, and personalized.”
GE HealthCare also plans to modernize its applications using Amazon SageMaker, developing foundation models specialized for medical use cases. These models will drive efficiency and improve user experiences across GE HealthCare’s equipment and software solutions. Customers will benefit from AI-powered applications that quickly analyze patient data, enhancing clinical efficiency and care quality.
“We see great potential for new AI tools and applications from industry collaborations,” said Dr. Keith Dreyer, Chief Data Science Officer at Mass General Brigham. “Generative AI can transform healthcare for the better.”
The collaboration focuses on developing multi-modal AI models to analyze unstructured medical data, providing precise insights for various healthcare applications. GE HealthCare has a strong track record in AI innovation, with recent projects demonstrating the potential of foundation model technology in medical imaging and diagnostics.
