GE Healthcare's latest innovation center in China was officially unveiled on Nov 16. 

Located in Zhangjiang, Pudong New Area, Shanghai, this new innovation center will focus on digital medical technology and application innovation and help drive the company's research and development efforts in China.

As the first innovative platform of GE Healthcare in China focusing on digital medicine, the Shanghai innovation center is the most comprehensive innovation entity among the three innovation centers. It also has the largest scale and the most comprehensive functions. 

The Shanghai innovation center will empower the 1,800 R&D engineers of GE Healthcare in China and work with ecosystem partners to explore the application of cutting-edge digital technology and integrated diagnosis and treatment solutions.
