GE HealthCare Unveils AI-Driven Innovations and Partnerships at HLTH 2025

GE HealthCare made a series of significant announcements at the 2025 HLTH conference in Las Vegas, showcasing advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology and new partnerships aimed at revolutionizing hospital operations and patient care.

CareIntellect Platform Expands with New Partnerships

GE HealthCare's CareIntellect, a generative AI platform introduced at last year's HLTH conference, is gaining traction with new health system partnerships. The company has teamed up with the Queen's Health Systems in Honolulu and Duke Health in Durham to further develop its AI-driven hospital operations software.

CareIntellect serves as a hub for various GE HealthCare applications, allowing health systems to deploy new tools without the need for product-by-product integration. Taha Kass-Hout, GE HealthCare's global chief science and tech officer, emphasized the platform's ability to create a common data layer for analysis and application integration across operations and care delivery.

The platform has expanded its offerings, recently adding a Perinatal product developed in collaboration with HCA Healthcare clinicians. This new application aggregates data from mothers and infants, providing real-time analytics to clinicians for efficient patient status review and event searching.

AI Innovation Lab Accelerates Research Projects

GE HealthCare also announced the latest research projects from its AI Innovation Lab, launched in 2024. The initiative aims to accelerate early-concept AI innovations within the company, with support from interested GE HealthCare customers.

Key projects include:

1. Development of an agentic AI diagnostic imaging assistant for radiology, based on a model trained on over 200,000 MRI images.
2. Evaluation of incidental findings in CT scans using agentic AI.
3. Research into less energy-intensive tomographic imaging.
4. Creation of a conversational bot to assist engineers in repairing hospital equipment.

Mass General Brigham and the University of Wisconsin-Madison are collaborating with GE HealthCare to assess the MRI research foundation model across operational and clinical use cases.

Impressive Results and Future Outlook

The implementation of GE HealthCare's Command Center solution at Queen's Health Systems has yielded significant improvements in patient care and operational efficiency. The health system reported a 22% increase in patient transfer admissions over 10 months, now accepting 100 more monthly transfer patients. Additionally, they observed a 41% decrease in emergency department length of stay, resulting in an estimated $20 million savings in the first year due to reduced average length of stay.

Looking ahead to 2026, Kass-Hout predicts an increase in reimbursement pathways for AI solutions. He noted recent regulatory changes, such as the FDA's predetermined change control plans guidance and the CMS 92229 code introduced in 2021, as indicators of this trend. Kass-Hout emphasized that outcome-based results will be crucial for securing these reimbursements, stating, "Outcome-based is going to become very, very key to these reimbursements."

As the healthcare industry continues to embrace AI-driven solutions, GE HealthCare's innovations and partnerships demonstrate the potential for significant improvements in patient care, operational efficiency, and clinical decision-making.
