Strategic Partnership with UC San Diego Health
GE Healthcare (GEHC) and University of California (UC) San Diego Health have initiated a complete strategic collaboration designed to integrate advanced medical imaging technologies throughout the UC San diego Health system. The partnership aims to improve patient outcomes and enhance connectivity across various clinical functions by leveraging emerging modalities like theranostics and artificial intelligence (AI).
Beyond technology implementation, GE healthcare will provide essential technical service support, including clinician education and a preventative maintenance model for connected equipment, ensuring sustained operational efficiency.
New Imaging Technologies Deployed
The collaboration will see the implementation of several key GE Healthcare imaging products, including the StarGuide SPECT/CT system, Smart Subscription for CT, and the Signa Continuum program for Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging. These technologies are expected to streamline workflows and improve diagnostic capabilities.
AI-Enhanced Point-of-Care Ultrasound Systems
GE Healthcare has also recently launched its latest generation of AI-enabled Venue family point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) systems. These new tools are available across the entire Venue portfolio - Venue, Venue Go, Venue Fit, and Venue Sprint – and are designed to simplify complex examinations and improve assessment accuracy.
Auto Bladder Volume Tool
A key feature is the Auto Bladder Volume tool, which automates urinary bladder volume measurement using just two views. This functionality is also available on the wireless Vscan Air CL probe, expanding accessibility for clinicians.
The company states that these AI-driven enhancements are intended to support clinicians of all experience levels, fostering confidence in their assessments and ultimately improving patient care.
