GE Healthcare and AliveCor began a partnership to deliver electrocardiograms (ECGs) taken on AliveCor’s KardiaMobile 6L ECG device outside of the hospital into GE Healthcare’s MUSE cardiac management system. The integration provides access to trusted data to increase diagnostic confidence and proactively manage patients.
MUSE connects to a hospital’s EMR to manage and streamline cardiac information. ECGs will be analyzed by GE Healthcare’s algorithms and become part of the patient record in MUSE and the EMR so any physician in the network of the patient’s care can interact with them.
“By teaming up with AliveCor, we are strengthening the connection between personal health and clinical decision making to transform cardiac care to be more convenient for patients and actionable for providers,” said Tom Westrick, president, and CEO of GE Healthcare’s Life Care Solutions business told the press. “The KardiaMobile 6L allows patients to conveniently monitor their heart health in any environment, and by integrating its data directly into MUSE, we are offering hospitals and health systems an unprecedented amount of information to leverage for patient care within their existing clinical workflow—with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes and reducing the number of cardiac-related hospitalizations and the costs associated with them.”
By integrating data into MUSE, physicians can compare the patient’s most recent KardiaMobile 6L ECG to prior ECGs or other relevant results.
“Delivering medically validated ECG readings taken with KardiaMobile 6L directly into MUSE can help facilitate closer connection and better communication about treatment and care between physicians and their patients, even when they are not physically together,” said Priya Abani, CEO of AliveCor. “This integration directly supports our mission of transforming cardiology with intelligent, highly personalized heart data and connected cardiac care services by offering providers information that can be integrated seamlessly into their clinical practices, and patients the convenience, privacy, and reliability of ECG readings they can perform at home or on the go.”
