The collaboration will enable easier access to treatment and is intended to improve heart care for patients
GE Healthcare announced its collaboration with Boston Scientific to provide end-to-end innovative interventional cardiac care solutions in India. The collaboration will enable easier access to treatment and is intended to improve heart care for patients, thereby addressing the disease burden prevailing in the country.
This is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between the two MedTech companies in India, both with strong interventional cardiology portfolios. The advanced medical devices and capabilities from Boston Scientific, coupled with GE Healthcare’s strong medical imaging systems like cardiac catheterisation lab and related software, support diagnostics through treatment and monitoring of the cardiac patient-care pathway.
Dr Shravan Subramanyam, MD, Wipro GE Healthcare said, “End-to-end cardiac care centres, with a focus on best-in-class patient outcomes, are fundamental in bridging the industry gap and managing cardiac burden in India. With our collaboration with Boston Scientific, we aim to unlock the potential of interventional cardiology and offers better heart care by building efficiency across the care pathway journey of the patient and deliver precision care.”
“It’s essential to work with clinicians and healthcare providers to understand the challenges they face in care delivery, and to provide tailored solutions to help them manage those obstacles and better serve their patients,” said Manoj Madhavan, MD, Boston Scientific in India. “This collaboration is focussed on addressing such challenges by providing healthcare professionals expanded access to the latest solutions and technologies to advance patient care.”
The companies will work to collectively support the training and education of healthcare professionals and raise consumer awareness about the impact of vascular imaging advancements within cardiac catheterisation procedures, thus enabling better patient outcomes.
Earlier this year, GE Healthcare signed a similar partnership with Boston Scientific in Southeast Asia which also offers combined cardiology solutions to customers including training and education.
