- GE Healthcare one of the first to use
new Intel Xeon Scalable platform for improved medical imaging
outcomes
- A new joint digital development lab in
Chicago aims to enable highest possible radiology productivity at
lowest total cost of ownership
- Solutions will be fueled by Intel’s
Wind River Titanium Control
GE Healthcare today announced an expanded partnership with Intel
that aims to enhance patient care and reduce costs for hospitals
and health systems using digital imaging solutions, deployed via
edge and cloud. Together, the companies anticipate their solutions
will offer greater hospital efficiency through increased asset
performance, reduced patient risk and dosage exposure – with faster
image processing – and expedited time to diagnosis and
treatment.
Through the expanded partnership, GE Healthcare will use the new
Intel® Xeon® Scalable platform with an aim towards lowering the
total cost of ownership for imaging devices by up to 25 percent.
Paired with GE Healthcare’s imaging solutions, the Intel Xeon
Scalable platform may improve radiologists’ reading productivity
compared to the prior generation by reducing first image display
down to under 2 seconds and full study load times down to under 8
seconds.
“Radiologist workdays can be enhanced by use of real-time data
analytics and increased performance,” said Jonathan Ballon, vice
president Internet of Things Group at Intel. “The combination of
innovative imaging solutions from GE Healthcare with the
breakthrough speed of Intel processors promises great advances in
imaging that could make a real difference in patient care.”
Building on their 20-year relationship, GE Healthcare and Intel
are also investing in a new, first-of-its-kind digital development
lab in downtown Chicago. The Joint Performance Acceleration Lab
(JPAL) will be dedicated to the development, testing and validation
of new innovations across a wide spectrum of GE Healthcare imaging
hardware and software solutions. This expanded partnership is
intended to help enable the highest possible radiology productivity
at the lowest total cost of ownership for healthcare providers and
clinicians by improving the performance of their imaging
fleets.
“Some of our longest-standing modalities are now being infused
with the latest in digital technologies – which requires security,
precision, speed and efficiency,” said David Hale, Senior Vice
President of Enterprise Imaging Digital Solutions at GE Healthcare.
“To ensure we are delivering the best possible outcomes at the
lowest cost in this digital age, GE Healthcare is partnering with
Intel to co-develop on and off premise solutions through our new
lab and accelerate these with the Intel Xeon Scalable
platform.”
As part of the expanded GE Healthcare and Intel relationship,
the two companies will use the workload-optimized Wind River®
Titanium Control software virtualization platform to enable
hospitals and health systems to deploy more secure, edge solutions
that improve agility and reduce operating costs in healthcare
environments that require real-time performance and continuous
service availability. Wind River Titanium Control software on Intel
Xeon Scalable platforms will provide a more secure, real time,
intelligent solution for the healthcare edge.
“The combination of powerful Intel processing at the edge with
Wind River’s virtualization technology allows GE Healthcare to
deliver a high availability end-to-end secure healthcare solution
that is game changing for the industry,” said Jim Douglas,
President, Wind River. “Through this collaboration, healthcare
applications can achieve the uptime, security and low latency that
is required for critical services installed at the healthcare
edge.”
