Leo Cancer Care Collaborates with GE HealthCare

Innovative Partnership for Improved Cancer Treatments
Leo Cancer Care, a pioneering force in upright radiation therapy, has announced a significant commercial collaboration with GE HealthCare, a leading entity in healthcare solutions. This partnership is set to revolutionize the way connected imaging and radiation therapy workflows are implemented in the medical field.

The collaboration comes with the ambitious goal of enhancing the experience of cancer treatment by tackling longstanding issues in radiation oncology. These challenges include:

• - The complexity of multivendor environments
• - Issues with system interoperability
• - The time gap between imaging and the commencement of treatment
• - Fragmented clinical workflows
• - High costs and intricate treatment infrastructure
• - Varied patient experiences and unequal access to cutting-edge technology

Through this partnership, both companies will leverage GE HealthCare’s advanced imaging solutions alongside its Intelligent Radiation Therapy (iRT) software, which aims to streamline patient and data workflows from the initial simulation phase through to actual treatment. The focus is to create a more cohesive and efficient process that minimizes delays and improves the overall patient experience.

Enhancing Patient-Centric Care Through Technology
The collaboration seeks to merge the capabilities of GE's iRT software with Leo Cancer Care's innovative upright radiation therapy solutions. iRT is designed to connect information, workflows, and applications across various systems effectively. The aim is not only to minimize the burden of complex workflows on clinicians but also to support a more rapid transition through the radiation therapy journey.

Ben Newton, the Global Head of Oncology at GE HealthCare, emphasized the potential impact of bringing imaging and treatment closer together: “This partnership has the potential to significantly benefit both patients and healthcare teams. By integrating iRT with Leo Cancer Care's unique upright treatment model, we have an exciting opportunity to develop a more connected and patient-centered radiation therapy model that simplifies workflows and reduces the time from imaging to treatment.”

Recognition of Upright Radiation Therapy
For Leo Cancer Care, this collaboration with GE HealthCare stands as a pivotal recognition of the importance of upright radiation therapy within the healthcare industry. Stephen Towe, CEO of Leo Cancer Care, remarked, “By partnering with one of the most iconic names in medical imaging, we are signaling that our approach to upright radiation therapy is acknowledged and valued at the highest levels of the industry.”
