                <description><![CDATA[In September 2011, GE and partners launched a $100 million open innovation challenge which sought to identify and accelerate ideas that advance breast cancer early detection and diagnostics. Explore the 500 submissions through this interactive data visualization and see the five seed winners that were awarded $100,000 each from GE to develop their ideas.

                <description><![CDATA[This interactive visualization of GE’s 120 annual reports traces the company’s evolution in the words of its participants.  The company grew from a national provider of lighting to a global innovator in parallel with the economic and cultural development of the United States as a whole.  Keywords provide navigation through thousands of scanned pages that describe and depict everyday appliances, pioneering machines, and the people who built them and used them. Spanning the years from 1892—when the term “Lighting” directs a reader to GE's development of an elevated electric railway for the Chicago World’s Fair—to 2011, when the term “Electricity” highlights how GE technology now provides a quarter of the world’s electricity, these reports provide a compelling view into GE’s history of building, moving, powering, and curing.   Our favorite image?  A toss-up between the kitten pawing a television tube on page 17 in 1952 or the "Partio Cart" on page 13 in 1960. This is best viewed in Safari, Chrome, and Firefox.

                <description><![CDATA[24 hours. 125,000+ scans. And that’s just a percentage of the data coming from GE’s installed base of medical imaging equipment. Our technology works hour after hour, and day after day, allowing doctors to see what’s really happening with patients. With this visualization,  users are able to get a rare glimpse into GE’s scanning activity (what type of scan, at what time, coming from where) around the world over the course of a day, further demonstrating how GE is hard at work making the world work better.

                <description><![CDATA[GE’s power technology generates a quarter of the world’s daily electricity. Now, that’s a lot of power! Today there are nearly 10,000 GE gas turbines installed around the world. In this visualization, we took a look at 713 of these gas turbines over the course of 2 weeks to see just how much energy is produced. It’s easy to see that GE technology is hard at work to power the world in which we live.

The Joint Commission is an independent, not-for-profit organization that accredits and certifies more than 17,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. The Joint Commission's 2009 Annual Report on Quality and Safety, the basis for this application, shows continual improvement among accredited hospitals over a seven-year period (2002-2008) in quality measures reflecting the best evidence-based treatments. Still, the quality of our hospitals varies.<br/><br/>

                <description><![CDATA[Earlier this year, the Obama Administration started the Community Health Data Initiative, a public-private effort to help Americans understand health and health care performance in their communities. US Department of Health and Human Services agreed to provide to the public free of charge and without any intellectual property constraint, data on health care, health and determinants of health performance at the national, state, and county levels. GE is one of a growing array of technology companies, researchers, health advocates, employers, media, consumer advocates, marketers, providers, etc., recruited to help identify the uses of this data that would do the most to raise awareness of health performance, help motivate civic leaders and citizens to improve performance, and help improvers do the improving. This application is part of the Community Health Data Initiative. It enables users to easily compare indicators of community health across the United States.

The answers revealed that when it comes to daily health activities such as diet and exercise, Americans are not doing as much as they say they are to stay healthy. The study also reveals that health care providers and patients don't always see eye to eye. Click below to see how your answers to the study questions compare to the overall results.

                <description><![CDATA[Chronic diseases cost us billions of dollars every year in the U.S, and the costs are only expected to rise. This map shows the cost of treating cancer, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, stroke, mental disorders and pulmonary conditions in 2003 (the last year this data was available) and projections for 2023. It makes a good case for the need to lower healthcare costs.

                <description><![CDATA[While you may be worried of catching an obscure disease you heard about on the news, the truth is that we are far more likely to die of a small range of illnesses, nearly all of which are tied in some way to your lifestyle choices, like the food you eat or how much exercise you get. But you can lessen - sometimes drastically - the likelihood of succumbing to the most common causes of death by knowing your risk factors and making informed choices. This is a look at your most likely cause of death (excluding uncontrollable events like accidents and homicide), given your race, sex, and age. This latest infographic from our friends at GOOD is a reminder to make choices that will keep you healthy.

Some countries pay a lot for health care, but see little benefit for those expenditures among their citizens. Others, at least by these metrics, are finding ways to reach both goals. This is a look at 12 countries around the world, examining how far the money they are spending on health care is going towards effecting the health of their citizens.
