Wipro GE Healthcare launches ‘Made in India-AI enabled Cath lab’

This new generation of interventional imaging software in Optima IGS 320 enables clinical versatility to guide sophisticated non-invasive procedures with greater precision

GE Healthcare has announced the launch of its first ‘Made in India’, ‘AI-powered’ Cath lab – Optima IGS 320 to advance cardiac care in India. Built at Wipro GE Healthcare’s new factory launched under the PLI (production linked incentive) scheme in Bengaluru, the Cath lab leverages the GE proprietary AutoRight technology.1 Powered by Edison, AutoRight, is the first neural network-based interventional image chain.2 AutoRight features Artificial Intelligence that automatically optimises image and dose parameters in real time, enabling clinicians to focus their attention and expertise on patients.

This new generation of interventional imaging software in Optima IGS 320 enables clinical versatility to guide sophisticated non-invasive procedures with greater precision. Automating the typically complex process with AutoRight helps reduce the burden on interventionalists and may increase their attention on the procedure.

Dr Shravan Subramanyam, Managing Director, Wipro GE Healthcare said, “At Wipro GE Healthcare our mission is to move from health care to healthy ageing and that can be accomplished with predictive, preventative, personalised medicine. The rising complexity of patient profiles and shifting disease patterns is making the need of personalised care even more vital and Artificial Intelligence solutions have the potential to transform the patient care pathway. With our ‘Made in India’ AI-enabled Cath lab, we aim to drive intelligent imaging to support cardiologists and patients with customized treatment protocols and therapies and enable access to quality healthcare across all of India.”

Srikanth Suryanarayanan, Head-Imaging, GE Healthcare South Asia said, “With Optima IGS320, we bring to market an imaging innovation that reflects the future of healthcare. This ‘industry-first’ Cath lab has a new generation of interventional imaging software that enables clinical versatility to guide sophisticated, non-invasive procedures with greater precision and reduced risk. Our aim is to reduce the burden on interventionalists, increasing their attention on procedures, so that they can utilise every second to bring their clinical expertise to treating patients.”

Designed for cardiac and electrophysiology procedures, Optima IGS320 advances visualisation across imaging to support intelligent and precision healthcare delivery. It enables flexibility during operations by enabling friendly gantry movement. Moreover, with intuitive and advanced features like the PCI ASSIST, the Cath lab also enhances image quality that may guide stent placement with increased accuracy. This may reduce complications and empower physicians to conduct complex procedures with confidence.
