GE Healthcare and Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) have entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore opportunities for SNUBH to leverage Edison Digital Health Platform and related services from GE Healthcare.

SNUBH and GE Healthcare aim to support and accelerate Korean startups in the development and deployment of clinical and operational applications on the platform.

This will be the first complete deployment of Edison Digital Health Platform for developers in Korea. The platform is GE Healthcare's application hosting and development platform which offers a catalogue of healthcare-specific services that enable rapid design, development, and deployment of applications and algorithms.

“As a leading global medical technology, pharmaceutical diagnostics, and digital solutions innovator, GE Healthcare enables clinicians to make fast, more informed decisions through intelligent devices, data analytics, applications and services, supported by our Edison Digital Health Platform,” said Paritosh Dhawale, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Edison Digital Health Platform, GE Healthcare.

SNUBH is considered one of the leading digital hospitals in Korea particularly for its expertise in the clinical applications of medical equipment. By installing Edison Digital Health Platform, SNUBH anticipates rapidly and easily expanding upon its artificial intelligent (AI) offerings across the enterprise. It plans to become a global example of how to effectively and efficiently develop and deploy AI models.
