GE Healthcare and Intel Corp. last August announced they would form a joint venture to combine, enhance and market their respective home health and independent living applications. Now, the companies have launched the new company, called Intel-GE Care Innovations LLC and based in Sacramento, Calif.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel and Waukesha, Wis.-based GE Healthcare each own 50 percent of Care Innovations, which combines GE's Home Health division with Intel's Digital Health Group. Louis Burns, who previously served as vice president and general manager Intel Digital Health Group, now is CEO at Care Innovations. Omar Ishrak, president and CEO at GE Healthcare Systems, is chair of the joint venture.
