GE Healthcare and Microsoft Launch New Technology to help Clinical Diagnosis of COVID-19

GE Healthcare has just announced that it has partnered with the Microsoft Azure cloud platform to introduce new technologies that can help clinicians diagnose COVID-19. The new software solution will broaden the horizon of medical institutions and determine which patients have a potential risk of worsening symptoms. As more and more people are admitted to hospital because of COVID-19, this move is expected to alleviate the pain points of intensive care and clinical surveillance.

GE hopes that the new solution can help clinicians get rid of the shackles and manage the data of each patient in the whole hospital network in one place.

Healthcare providers can manage an ICU network

By deploying Mural, a small number of healthcare providers can manage an ICU network that includes hundreds of beds. In view of the serious shortage of potential emergency clinical care, the GE system can also provide additional supervision and support to the team.

It is reported that Mural aggregates near real-time data from ventilators, patient monitoring systems, electronic cases, laboratories and other systems. It allows doctors to monitor patients one-to-many and can be used as a supplement to existing monitoring equipment in the ward.

In addition, the remote monitoring function can also reduce the clinician's exposure to COVID-19, while maintaining a field of view throughout the hospital.

Because Mural runs in the Azure cloud, it can be quickly deployed and scaled at a reasonable price.

Before January 31, 2021, GE will also waive software subscription fees for this period.
