GE HealthCare has unveiled a new generative AI (genAI) platform, CareIntellect for Oncology, which will be available for commercial use in the US next year for prostate and breast cancer use. “Currently only 3% of hospital data is used because of the complexities associated with organising and extracting useful healthcare insights at scale. Yet there is so much potential to turn the other 97% into actionable data to advance healthcare, but it is critical that any new technologies we develop be efficient and easy to use while reducing cognitive burdens for clinicians and removing implementation hurdles for providers,” said Dr Taha Kass-Hout, MD, MS, global chief science, and technology officer at GE Healthcare.
