Purpose at work is now increasingly more important, as we have the opportunity to choose how and where we spend our time and energy. Learn from GE Healthcare's Chief People Officer, Betty Larson, about the importance of women at the forefront of Med Tech.For more than 2 years, the pandemic has shown us the importance of digital health tools, from logistics and diagnostics, to clinical treatment. The same is true for delivering care in areas of circumstantial need. For example, GE Healthcare recently donated $4 million in medical equipment to war torn Ukraine. Putting together digital healthcare (Med Tech) and purpose has created exciting opportunities to choose work where we can make a tangible difference. This may include helping a radiologist see a lesion more clearly, advancing maternal health with artificial intelligence for smarter outcomes, or creating a digital platform for increased efficiency and data aggregation across medical devices.
It's never been a more exciting time to find opportunities to make a difference with precision healthcare, enabled by digital tools.
