Today, GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) and DeepHealth, Inc., a
global leader in AI-powered health informatics and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of RadNet, Inc. (Nasdaq: RDNT), announced a strategic
collaboration to further the innovation, commercialization, and
adoption of AI in imaging. Together, the two companies aim to
develop SmartTechnology™ solutions that harness the transformative
power of AI to address key challenges across the imaging value
chain, including helping increase the efficiency of imaging
interpretation and reporting, enabling collaboration across care
teams, improving the clinical interpretation of images, and
enhancing operational efficiency and productivity. These new
SmartTechnology solutions will seek to combine GE HealthCare’s
imaging expertise and scale, RadNet’s deep experience in care
delivery, and DeepHealth’s AI-powered health informatics portfolio
to elevate patient care through improved end-to-end clinical and
operational workflows.
With the global cancer burden continuing to rise,2 health
systems face increasing challenges and seek solutions to enhance
early detection and diagnosis when treatment can be most effective.
To help address these challenges and demonstrate the promise of
this strategic relationship, the two companies will first work to
bring together DeepHealth’s AI-based SmartMammo™1 workflow
and clinical solution and GE HealthCare’s patient-centric
Senographe Pristina™ mammography system to bring AI-powered
clinical imaging support to breast cancer screening.
GE HealthCare’s Senographe Pristina mammography system was
designed to ease anxiety the moment the patient enters the exam
room. It features an inviting gantry with elegant lighting and
rounded shapes, as well as a soft-curved surface that welcomes
patients into a space of comfort and support – with 83% of patients
rating their experience with Senographe Pristina better and more
comfortable than previous exams.3
RadNet’s DeepHealth SmartMammo is an AI-powered SaaS solution
designed to seamlessly integrate into existing breast cancer
diagnostic workflows, enhancing diagnostic accuracy4 and workflow
efficiency. By embedding imaging informatics into advanced
mammography systems, the solution can support high-volume breast
cancer screening programs. The SmartMammo offering will work to
prioritize cases based on suspicion level and ensure seamless
integration and interoperability with existing healthcare IT
infrastructure.
SmartMammo includes: 1) a cloud-native smart enterprise image
viewer with PACS functionality that enables fast image loading and
real-time data rendering of multimodality images, accessible from
any workstation and location, 2) integration with the radiologist
worklist and reporting tools to streamline the workflow, and 3) a
suite of clinical AI detection tools that offers automatic lesion
localization and degree of suspicion that are effective in diverse
populations and dense breast tissue.1, 4 The cloud-native
architecture of the DeepHealth OS powering SmartMammo simplifies
support and maintenance while allowing for seamless feature updates
and functionality enhancements without any downtime.
Through this collaboration, the two companies also seek to
include Smart Alerts, a DeepHealth workflow solution to be
integrated with Senographe Pristina that will utilize rapid AI
processing with the goal of alerting imaging sites to cases with
potentially suspicious lesions in minutes. This kind of solution
aims to empower same-day diagnostic exams, follow-up compliance,
and reduced anxiety for women with potentially suspicious
findings.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with GE HealthCare to accelerate
the adoption of AI-powered technologies in radiology," said Kees
Wesdorp, President and CEO of RadNet’s Digital Health division. "By
combining our pioneering cloud-native operating system, DeepHealth
OS, and our AI-powered health informatics portfolio with GE
HealthCare’s cutting-edge imaging technology, we are poised to
revolutionize large-scale diagnostic and screening programs,
streamline radiology workflows, and improve patient outcomes. This
collaboration aims to empower healthcare providers with the tools
they need to deliver more effective and personalized care at
scale."
“GE HealthCare has a legacy of imaging and AI innovation and is
committed to our continued pursuit of new technologies that push
the boundaries of what is possible to enable precision care. This
new collaboration with DeepHealth harnesses our combined strengths
to address critical challenges in healthcare today,” explained
Roland Rott, President & Chief Executive Officer of Imaging for
GE HealthCare. “As we look to make more personalized,
patient-centered breast care a reality – AI continues to show great
promise in breast cancer screening from early detection and risk
prediction, to reduced callbacks and more efficient workflows for
breast imaging providers. We are excited to bring the power of
imaging and AI together to elevate personalized breast care for
those facing this difficult diagnosis.”
The two companies’ agreement will enable GE Healthcare to
distribute SmartMammo and other DeepHealth solutions to imaging
providers in the United States as part of GE HealthCare’s
comprehensive portfolio of imaging technologies.
In addition to collaborating on SmartMammo, GE HealthCare and
RadNet’s DeepHealth intend to explore areas of further
collaboration for SmartTechnology solutions in other modalities and
clinical domains, to expand the access to and impact of AI-based
workflows.
