GE 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 21
EV Infrastructure
GE has created intelligent
plug-in electric vehicle
charging devices for U.S. and
global markets to help
consumers charge their cars
during low-demand, lower-
cost time periods. As a result,
smart chargers will make
plug-in cars more attractive
to utilities and consumers,
helping to lower our carbon
footprint and oil dependence.
Expanding Access
Roughly the size of a smart
phone, the Vscan houses
powerful ultrasound
technology, so doctors can
quickly and accurately
make diagnoses beyond basic
vital signs. Vscans could
one day redefine the
physical exam, becoming
as indispensable as the
traditional stethoscope.
Unconventional Fuel
As the world seeks energy
solutions in the face of
environmental, regulatory
and financial pressures,
unconventional gas sources
gain importance. GE provides
innovative chemical and
equipment technology that
treats and supplies millions
of gallons of water needed
for shale and tight gas
production while protecting
the environment.
Lowering Healthcare Cost
Healthcare IT tools are
transforming medicine
by giving doctors new ways
to improve efficiency,
standardize care and reduce
errors. GE Healthcare’s
Centricity Advance is a web-
based Electronic Medical
Record and patient portal
that helps small and
independent practices focus
more on patients and less
on paperwork.
Ideas that drive human progress vary dramatically. GE’s WattStation™
makes charging electric cars fast and cost effective. And in rural India
where infant care technology is scarce, GE Healthcare helps distribute
$200 infant warmers, which can heat for hours with a simple pouch of wax.
