Chef’s Whites to Factory Floor: GE Aerospace’s Apprenticeship Program Showed One Technician a New Career Path
Andrew Dubrule began his career as a chef. Armed with a culinary arts degree from the State University of New York at Cobleskill, he interned at the University of the Arts in Florence, Italy, and worked for years at restaurants in New York City. But when he and his wife decided to start a family, he had a change of heart. In 2019, Dubrule traded in the grueling hours and uncertain future of restaurant life for a job as a machine operator at GE Aerospace’s Rutland, Vermont, plant.

Close Call: Fighting For His Life Against COVID, Retired GE Engineer Found Comfort In A CT He Helped Design
The day in late 2020 Bob Senzig thought would be his last is still a haze and probably always will be. He remembers a doctor at a hospital in the resort town of Los Cabos, Mexico, talking on the phone with the crew of a medical evacuation jet coming to take him back home, to an emergency room at a U.S. hospital. But to get on board, he was told, the 66-year-old GE retiree would have to be intubated, a procedure that would require him to be unconscious. Make your phone calls quickly, the doctor told him.

Waiting To Inhale: GE’s AI Solution To Assess Breathing Tube Placement Gets FDA Clearance
Like many tasks in medicine, threading a breathing tube down a patient’s trachea requires skill, patience and steady hands. Insert the tube not far enough and the patient can throw up food into their lungs, causing infection; insert it too far and you might trigger a collapsed lung or cardiac arrest. Doctors often order a chest X-ray to make sure the tube is positioned right.

No Strings Attached: Vscan Air — Pocket-Sized Wireless Ultrasound — Could Help Improve Healthcare Worldwide
As an emergency medicine clinician in Madrid, Spain, Dr. Yale Tung Chen has treated many COVID-19 patients since the start of the pandemic. And when he developed last March the ominous constellation of symptoms caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus — chills, cough, low-grade fever and a nagging headache — he knew what to do. Like other people stricken by the disease, the physician quarantined at home and monitored the signs of his illness. But he also knew that his overt symptoms were not the full picture of the disease.

What Makes COVID-19 Stick? GE Researchers Are Mapping Virus Stricken Lungs to Find Out
When doctors want to assess how badly COVID-19 has damaged patients' lungs, they often use CT scans to study telltale gray and white patches that show inflammation and damage. But these scans are akin to looking at a satellite image of a neighborhood: You can see in general where the parks and streets are, but it’s hard to get a more detailed view.

On The Frontlines: Journalist Mikey Kay Traveled The Globe To Show Healthcare's Response To COVID-19 Pandemic
Journalists relish finding stories hidden in unassuming places. For Mikey Kay, a reporter and filmmaker who set out in early 2020 to tell the story of the healthcare industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, one of those places was an orange and white building standing in a green field in the Indian state of Haryana.
