Since 2006, GE Healthcare has played moderator to the growing dialogue surrounding Early Health.
Starting with our first Media Summit in London, we have been traveling the globe asking questions about emerging healthcare trends and innovations, and the challenges related to the transformation of global healthcare.

What impact can Early Health have on the key trends and realities facing the healthcare industry?
Early Health addresses many of the current healthcare challenges facing societies by advocating for a broader, more efficient healthcare model. It invests in early diagnostic tools, implements modern IT systems to manage and deliver information, and introduces treatment earlier, so therapy can be more precise.

How can today's medical technologies improve the way patients are diagnosed and treated?
This was the question GE Healthcare posed to leading U.S.-based cardiologists, radiologists, oncologists and patient advocacy leaders. Their responses included harnessing the power of IT to predict disease earlier, and furthering the convergence of life sciences, digitization and diagnostics to more effectively identify and monitor disease.

What healthcare challenges are facing the societies of modern Europe?
In a growing Europe, societies are experiencing the rising costs of healthcare, triggering the shift from late treatment of disease to early diagnosis and prevention. Here, it's believed that one of the best ways to implement Early Health strategies is by starting at childhood, a time when people develop the lifestyle habits that can shape their future health.

What role can Early Health play in an emerging healthcare market like India's?
In India, there is a widening divide between healthcare access in rural and urban areas. So the challenge for Early Health is one of distribution. Not only is it crucial to reach the masses in India, the technologies they are equipped with must be affordable and effective too.

How can the Early Health techniques used to advance Olympic athletes also benefit consumers?
Even the fittest athletes experience health issues like musculoskeletal injuries and heart disease. However, the way they manage these issues is vastly different. By understanding how Olympic athletes train their bodies and take precautions to prevent long-term damage, we can apply the same knowledge to help consumers worldwide.
