GE HealthCare has received double recognition at the Healthcare Asia Medtech Awards 2025, winning the Cardiology Product Innovation Award – Singapore and Employee Engagement of the Year – Korea.
Sonic DL™ Cardiac MRI Technology
The company’s Sonic DL™ technology, an FDA-approved cardiac MRI solution, enables high-quality heart imaging in a single heartbeat, reducing scan times by up to 83%. This innovation is particularly significant in the ASEAN region, where cardiovascular diseases cause 4 million deaths annually. Sonic DL™ addresses MRI challenges for patients with arrhythmias and those who cannot hold their breath, providing exceptional temporal and spatial resolution for precise valve and wall motion assessments.
The technology has the potential to transform cardiac care in ASEAN by enabling earlier intervention for general patients, improving fetal health outcomes, and offering effective arrhythmia management solutions. Its non-invasive and radiation-free features make it particularly valuable for advancing fetal cardiac imaging, especially in areas with limited prenatal care access.
Employee Engagement Initiatives
GE HealthCare fosters a workplace culture where employees feel valued and engaged through various initiatives. One such program is the “Village Record Project” in partnership with Garam Children Care Center in Korea, where employees provided cameras to children to explore photography. Over 50 GE HealthCare employees also volunteered at Korea’s Jongno Senior Welfare Center for World Alzheimer’s Day, participating in the “Active Senior, Happier Life” initiative to enhance seniors’ quality of life through dementia prevention.
Other employee engagement activities include “SBU Day,” where Strategic Business Units host quarterly sessions to connect employees with the company’s products and people, and a Coffee Sensory class through the Hobby Club, which promotes workplace morale and a supportive work culture.
