Going The Distance: How GE Technology Is Bringing Healthcare To Remote Places

Maggie Sieger
August 26, 2019
Treating patients in remote parts of the globe is difficult. There’s a shortage of physicians, and sometimes patients travel hours — even days — to seek treatment. The logistics of bringing in supplies can thwart efforts, and the relatively small patient pool in individual villages significantly bumps up the per-person cost of medical care. Meanwhile, a lack of basic medical care — not to mention emergency or acute treatments — results in shorter life expectancies, unnecessary suffering from manageable chronic conditions and people dying from treatable diseases.

To Infinity And Beyond: These Crystal Sensors Can See Blasts From Black Holes And Also Cancers

In the 1960s, satellites monitoring Soviet nuclear tests noticed huge, curious flashes of radiation. Rather than coming from the ground below, they were arriving from deep space. After decades of study, these rapid flashes of the most energetic form of radiation — known as gamma ray bursts or GRBs — remain one of the biggest mysteries of the cosmos. Scientists believe they could be powerful burps emanating from black holes after they lunched on a large star, or they could be caused by a handful of other extreme events taking place across the universe.

Healthcare isn’t typically the first field that leaps to mind when you hear 3D printing, artificial intelligence or virtual reality. But all three technologies are in fact making inroads into the field. They’re allowing doctors to free up their schedules and dedicate more of their time to patients — and improve the quality of care delivered.

Play’s The Thing: Gamifying Physical Therapy To Improve Child Health

Brendan Coffey
August 07, 2019
A few years ago, when Peter Green was recovering from shoulder surgery, he was determined to bounce back fully, insisting on getting the maximum physical therapy his insurance allowed. His exercises with a physical therapist after the procedure went great, but when it came time to do the strengthening exercises at his home in Helsinki, he just didn’t do them. “Physical therapy is boring,” Green says. “It often hurts. It’s not motivating.”

Ultrasound as art: form follows function into the ED

What does a GE Healthcare ultrasound have in common with a Tesla 3 and a pair of jeans?  All three were named in July among the winners of Australia’s annual Good Design Award, the country’s highest honour for design innovation.
Dr Brandon Gien, CEO of Good Design Australia, said, “At the heart of all the winning projects is a problem--big or small--that was solved through clever, considered and meaningful design that will have a positive impact on our lives and our planet.”

Like most of the patients at Lake Medical Imaging (LMI) in central Florida, Kathi Schue is no stranger to mammograms. With imaging offices in the 5.5-square-mile retirement community known as The Villages, LMI caters to the over-60 crowd. While this group is statistically more likely to get breast cancer, they also have a secret weapon that helps with early detection: lots of previous scans.

It can be hard to get a good night of sleep in Helsinki in mid-June, where fiery sunsets last nearly till midnight and the bright sun climbs back up into the sky just a few short early morning hours later. But in a way, it’s the perfect setting for Jack Page and his colleagues, who are tasked with perfecting apps for machines that put people to sleep.

In addition to all the necessary well-baby visits and obstetrician follow-ups that come on top of the adjustment of having a new baby, Kathrine Garbers found time for yet another visit to Herlev Hospital, just outside Copenhagen, Denmark. Garbers and her baby girl, Frigga — not even two weeks old — were there to have the newborn’s heart scanned by Anne-Sophie Sillesen, a doctoral student.
