Intel Corp. and General Electric Co. are about to jump into the healthcare pool together, the Wall Street Journal reported.
A press conference is slated for April 2 in New York, hosted by Intel CEO Paul Otellini and GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt, where the two are expected to announce their collaboration.
Intel, the microprocessing giant, isn’t involved in healthcare but has been working for years to build a business in the sector.
New Jersey-based GE Healthcare specializes in medical imaging and information technologies, diagnostics, patient monitoring systems, performance improvement, drug discovery and biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
Intel has a production campus in Hudson, which makes semiconductor chips for the mobile, desktop and server markets.
