American College of Cardiology collaborates with GE Healthcare on new path forward for AI, digital health
The American College of Cardiology (ACC) and GE Healthcare have announced a new partnership aimed at the advancement of AI and digital health technology in cardiology.
A key aspect of this collaboration is the ACC’s Applied Health Innovation Consortium, where thought leaders will come together to discuss the best ways to push AI and digital health solutions forward in the years to come. Representatives from GE Healthcare will attend the consortium to share their own perspective and brainstorm about the future of patient care.
Virtual care, remote patient monitoring and AI-based research are three specific topics attendees at the consortium are expected to discuss.
“We are eager to help shape the heart care pathway—from early detection to treatment to follow-up at home—by combining our expertise in AI and digital technologies with top clinical leadership to advance risk prediction and decision-making support,” Eigil Samset, GE Healthcare’s chief technology scientist for cardiology solutions, said in a prepared statement. “Ultimately, this will enable precision health, which is doing the right thing, at the right time for every patient, at scale—with the ultimate goal to provide better outcomes, delivered to more people, more cost efficiently.”
The two groups also plan on tackling other topics close to cardiology, including atrial fibrillation management, coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease and heart failure.
