"The ability to seamlessly bridge multiple locations, users, and devices, enables technologists to share knowledge, improves exam workflows, speeds up decision-making and helps achieve clinical and efficiency goals. With a shortage of radiologists, it is also key for facilities to be able to leverage the skills of one expert across multiple physical locations,” said Jan Makela, president and CEO of Imaging, GE HealthCare. “Additionally, as the first FDA-cleared remote scan solution, Digital Expert Access with remote scanning sets a new bar for patient safety within imaging operations, which is critical given the anticipated future growth within this space.”
To further enhance remote operations, GE HealthCare has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with IONIC Health. The nCommand Lite system by IONIC Health is a 510(k)-pending technology designed to remotely provide real-time guidance to the licensed technologist operating the scanner.[*] Additionally, it is intended to offer multi-vendor and multi-modality capabilities, including MR, computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) - CT, enabling a differentiated remote scanning solution which will help optimize workflow across disparate imaging fleets. This new collaboration demonstrates GE HealthCare’s ongoing dedication to shaping the future of healthcare through innovation and strategic collaborations that streamline workflow and increase operational efficiency, ultimately helping enhance patient care and outcomes.
