Better Health for More People
Introduced in 2009, our healthymagination
commitment leverages GE technologies
and innovations to bring high-quality,
lower-cost care to more people throughout
the world. We’re investing $6 billion in
solutions that the new healthcare economy
will demand, such as healthcare information
technologies to reduce variation and
cost; precision diagnostics to guide therapy
decisions and assess efficacy; more
portable, miniature devices to broaden use
across more geographies; remote, home
monitoring to reduce costs and improve
patient care; and tools to help our hospital
customers improve efficiency. Our goal is
to help people around the world lead
healthier, more productive lives.
