GE Healthcare and Intel Corporation announced the start of their Sacramento-based healthcare joint venture named Care Innovations LLC. Care Innovations will develop technologies that support healthy, independent living at home and in senior housing communities. The executive leadership team and board of managers are now in place to support the new company’s transition and future growth.

The development of Care Innovations follows the success of the healthcare alliance between Intel and GE Healthcare, announced April 2009. Care Innovations, which combines assets and the teams and operations of both GE Healthcare's Home Health division and Intel's Digital Health Group, has received final regulatory clearances and is now fully operational.

The aim of the company is to help address some of the largest issues facing society today, including the aging population, the increasing number of people with chronic diseases, and the expensive healthcare costs. The market segments for telehealth and home health monitoring are predicted to grow to an estimated $7.7 billion by 2012.

Care Innovations markets remote patient monitoring, independent living concepts and assistive technologies, such as the Intel Health Guide, Intel Reader and GE QuietCare. The company will keep developing healthcare IT innovations which will help enable healthcare providers to drive toward lower costs and a higher quality of life for patients allover the world.
