Aalto University and GE Healthcare Finland Oy have agreed to expand their cooperation. The agreement covers cooperation related to research and development, teaching and start-up activities. Both parties are interested in studying and analysing clinical data and using digitalisation and artificial intelligence to create new innovations.
鈥楪E Healthcare is one of Aalto鈥檚 long-term partners and Aalto University is also focusing on expertise in the field of health. Furthermore, machine learning methods and tools have advanced to a point where we can now develop smart applications to support decision-making. In the future, our researchers and students will have even better opportunities for research and innovation collaboration in the area of artificial intelligence and data analytics,鈥 says Jouko Lampinen, Dean of Aalto University School of Science.
鈥楧eveloping healthcare analytics is our core competence, and GE Healthcare has a competence centre in Finland. We also have a lot of Aalto graduates working for us. Expanding this cooperation is strategically important for us,鈥 says Erno Muuranto, Managing Director of GE Healthcare Finland.
鈥楬ealthcare is under a lot of pressure. The purpose of analytics applications is to harness the information produced by hospital equipment to support healthcare personnel in their decision-making and help allocate resources. Aalto University is one of the partners with whom we鈥檙e working to develop the healthcare of the future and improve people鈥檚 lives,鈥 states Muuranto.
High-quality and safe solutions are important for healthcare, but regulation makes it hard for start-ups to get into the industry.
