GE, Boston Scientific team up to bring advanced cardiac care tech to Southeast Asia
Summary
GE Healthcare has been in a collaborative mood as of late, striking partnerships with Amazon Web Services, Optellum, Sophia Genetics, the University of Cambridge and more in just the last six months, all with a goal of improving various facets of clinical care. The medtech giant’s latest team-up—and its first of 2022—will see it joining forces with another powerhouse in the field with the aim of upgrading cardiac care in the Southeast Asia region: Boston Scientific. Together, these offerings will give healthcare providers in the region access to more advanced tools to improve every step of cardiac care, from diagnosis to interventional treatments. The companies are targeting the high number of deaths from cardiovascular disease in the region, an issue exacerbated by its vast diversity in terms of culture, socioeconomics and access to reliable healthcare services. “Bridging the industry gap in providing an end-to-end cardiac care center for healthcare providers, this partnership will see the integration of cardiac care solutions, from cath labs to intravascular ultrasound, serving as a comprehensive portfolio for heart surgeons,” said Chris Khang, president and CEO of GE Healthcare’s Southeast Asia business.
