General Electric and HealthyMagination


General Electric is one of the strongest companies of our era. As you watch the Olympics I’m sure you see all the commercials for Healthymagination.com. That is GE’s new approach, to help create better health for more people in the future.

As I look through the website, GE has a lot of projects. Some examples of these projects are Morsel, which is a smart phone app that helps people make healthier decisions. The idea of better health communication can be an example of real life ajax, they found a way to meet WebMD and healthymagination to create a database of your information so yoru doctors can see more about your history faster.

GE also has a blog site for healthymagination. I thought it’d be helpful to show you all what it looks like, healthymagination.com/blog. The most recent post talks about if the iPad could revolutionize health care. Like I said they are converting WebMD and healthymagination together to help doctors.

I wanted to talk about GE because ultimately I would love to work for them. They are always looking to the future, and are finding ways to help people all over the world.

  1. Another investment that GE has is NBC Television. They are truly a diverse company. Working for them may or may not be a good thing. An inventor worked for them and created man made diamonds, which made the company millions of dollars and all they gave him was a $10 savings bond.

  2. Nice blog Dan! GE does seem like an innovative company. I'll have to check out some job opportunities there. I like the idea of mixing technology and Healthcare. It gives us IT folks a chance to expand into anothe field. Another company that mixes the two is named Cerner, they develop software for doctors to use in hospitals so that everything is paperless! Go figure. i bet our grandparents would have never seen that coming.
