GE will invest $500 million in its healthcare unit to make its operations more digital, and GE Healthcare also plans to double its bench of 5,000 software engineers, GE Healthcare CEO John Flannery revealed.
The GE Healthcare unit employs 54,000 people and generated $18.4 billion in revenue last year, according to the company.
GE Healthcare put a spotlight on its GE Healthcare Cloud at HIMSS17 late last month, where company leaders emphasized analytics, cloud-based imaging, population health and machine learning.
