COVID-19 forced change in nearly every aspect of the way healthcare is delivered. What it didn’t change is the necessity - and our ability - to innovate.
Unlike many newborns, little Shriyan couldn’t spend much time with his mom in the delivery room. Doctors at the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences in Kerala, India, rushed the critically ill boy to an operating room, where a surgeon was waiting to perform a lifesaving cardiac procedure to correct a rare but fatal heart defect. The doctors taking care of Shriyan didn’t have a crystal ball to know that he needed help. They had something more powerful: prenatal cardiac ultrasound, also known as fetal echocardiography.
As the world confronted the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the sudden economic slowdown had a profound impact on global energy demand. Even as we continue to tackle the changes the past year has brought, the impact on energy offered a dramatic reminder of the enormous challenge that climate change represents. Much like COVID-19, the warming planet will both impact the whole world and require action from the whole world. As a result, the consensus around the need to take swift global action toward decarbonization has only grown.
The coronavirus pandemic was first and foremost a healthcare crisis, but it touched every corner of the world and every sector of the economy — and drew millions of people together in the effort to turn the tide. Across GE, factories ramped up to manufacture ventilators and patient monitors needed in clinical settings to treat patients suffering from COVID-19; technicians found themselves driving halfway across the U.S.
Even as COVID-19 closed borders and offices this year, Pawel Kazior continued to crisscross Poland, traveling weekly from his home in Gdansk, a port on the Baltic Sea, to train people to use GE Healthcare’s computed tomography (CT) medical imaging equipment. As a CT education specialist and a former doctor, Kazior knew the machines could help clinicians quickly visualize conditions associated with serious illnesses like COVID-19.
