William Attardi on March 8, 2025

GE HealthCare today announced its new Genesis solutions, a portfolio of cloud enterprise imaging software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions. Four features will be offered when commercially released – edge, storage, vendor neutral archive and data migration. These cloud solutions, are designed to help enhance healthcare organizations’ efficiency and precision, streamline workflows, and optimize the use of capital and IT resources.  The growing volume and complexity of patient cases are putting increasing pressure on hospitals’ IT systems, driving the need for healthcare organizations to accelerate their digital transformation efforts through rapidly evolving technologies and operational infrastructure.  However, budget constraints and staffing shortages make managing this quickly growing body of data challenging.  The Genesis portfolio will help hospitals and health systems streamline workflows, and support radiologists and caregivers in delivering precise and timely patient care.

The Creator of Baby Ruth Actually Sued Babe Ruth –The Baby Ruth candy bar was created by the Curtiss Candy Company in 1920 — the same year that baseball legend Babe Ruth hit a then-record 54 home runs. But the Great Bambino was irked that the company was selling a candy bar with such a similar name to his own without offering him any royalties. Rather than take the Curtiss Candy Company to court, the Sultan of Swat decided to make his own candy bar, and in 1926 he debuted Ruth’s Home Run bar. The Curtiss Candy Company responded by turning the tables and taking Ruth to court. They accused the slugger of trying to steal their trademark and capitalize on the success of their brand. In a 1931 deposition, Curtiss founder Otto Schnering insisted the candy was named after “Baby Ruth” Cleveland — the daughter of President Grover Cleveland.  He also attested that the company came up with the name in 1919 before the baseball player had become a household name and that the name was merely coincidental. While the validity of those claims is disputed to this day, the court nonetheless ruled in favor of the candy company, forcing Ruth to end his foray into the world of candy.
