“At Philips, we believe there is always a way to make life
better,” said Egbert van Acht, Chief Business Leader Personal
Health businesses at Philips. “At this year’s CES we are showcasing
innovations that help consumers take a more active role in managing
their health and wellbeing. New innovative solutions like
SmartSleep, which builds on our leadership in sleep therapy and
more than 2.6 billion nights of sleep data [1] collected by Philips
over the last 10 years, showcase how we are uniquely positioned to
combine clinical know how with a superb consumer experience.”
Philips SmartSleep optimizes deep sleep with
scienceNearly 40 percent of people ages 25-54 get less than the
recommended seven hours of sleep per night, which is reported to
result in difficult concentration, memory and focus [2]. Studies
[3] suggest that deep sleep, or slow wave sleep, plays a critical
role in resetting our brains to be more alert and focused, and that
people who experience high quality slow wave sleep have been shown
to be more alert during the day, with better memory consolidation,
executive function and daytime energy.
Unlike other sleep trackers that merely monitor a user’s sleep
pattern, Philips’ new SmartSleep is uniquely designed with two
small sensors that detect periods of slow wave sleep and intervene
with clinically proven technology to boost it in real time.
Philips’ proprietary advanced sleep analysis algorithms, developed
in collaboration with leading sleep experts and neurologists,
produce customized audio tones that enhance the depth and duration
of slow wave sleep. An accompanying app logs sleep improvement over
time and provides tips and advice on how to get the best possible
night's sleep. Already, 70 percent of chronically sleep-deprived
users who have tried SmartSleep for just two weeks reported feeling
less tired during the day.
Further Philips innovations being showcased at CES 2018
include:
Philips Avent uGrow digital parenting platform with American
Well virtual care services: uGrow is designed to support
parents and their baby’s healthy development with actionable
insights. Coming soon to uGrow’s ecosystem of connected devices are
Amazon Echo voice activation and the Philips Avent smart feeding
kit that will automatically monitor the time, volume and duration
of a baby’s feeds. The recently announced strategic partnership
between Philips and American Well will embed telehealth services
into uGrow [4]. It means that the personalized advice provided by
uGrow will include the option of a secure video call to a
healthcare professional (children’s medical or adult medical
physician), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the service helps
with scheduling a virtual consult with a lactation consultant or
mental health specialist. uGrow has been named a CES 2018
Innovation Awards Honoree [5] in the ‘Tech For A Better World’
product category.
Philips’ complete oral care solution: The Philips
Sonicare DiamondClean Smart toothbrush brings together the latest
in Philips Sonicare innovation and performance, giving users
exceptional results with new high-performance brush heads,
personalized coaching and guidance from smart sensor technology,
and an intuitive brushing experience. As a complete oral care
solution, Philips latest electric toothbrush also brings dental
professionals closer to their patients with the aim to improve
treatment outcomes. The Philips Sonicare app is now a ‘virtual hub’
for personal oral healthcare, enabling users to manage their
complete oral care on a daily basis and share brushing data with
their dental practitioners, for more personalized guidance and
advice at their fingertips.
