Healthymagination will change the way we approach healthcare, with more than 100 innovations all focused on addressing three critical needs: lowering costs, touching more lives and improving quality.
Applying lessons from the developing world on low--cost, high--impact technologies
In the developing world, providers need simple, affordable devices they can easily take with them when caring for patients on the go. Last year in China, GE developed the MAC 800, a portable ECG device that weighs under seven pounds, specifically to meet the needs of Chinese healthcare providers. Recently, news of the device's ability to diagnose patients affordably, faster, and more efficiently has led to expanded demand — not only in other emerging markets, but also in developed nations such as the U.S. With the broader dissemination of MAC 800, GE is helping more physicians around the world reach, diagnose, and treat patients in need
