GE HealthCare has named Rodolphe Katra as its new global chief AI officer, according to Healthcare Dive. Katra joins the company from Medtronic, where he most recently worked.
In his new role, Katra will be responsible for guiding GE HealthCare's efforts to connect its medical devices, software, and data. The appointment reflects the company's broader ambition to embed artificial intelligence more deeply into its healthcare products and services.
The move comes as medical technology companies increasingly look to centralize AI leadership. Katra's mandate, as described in the report, centers on making GE HealthCare's offerings more interoperable and data-driven.
