cloud platform, these new connected digital health products and
services further illustrate Philips’ commitment to delivering
meaningful innovations for every stage of life – from birth to
healthy living and healthy aging.
“The personal and professional healthcare worlds are converging,

Philips’ new consumer health products and services are powered
by the Philips HealthSuite cloud, allowing consumers to combine
their health data and use it in smarter and more meaningful ways to
support a healthier lifestyle, manage their health conditions and
connect and share data with their healthcare professionals.
Key product innovations being showcased at CES 2017 include:
- Philips Avent uGrow1
digital parenting platform - Designed to help new parents
understand and support their baby’s healthy development, the uGrow
app connects wirelessly to the Philips Avent smart baby monitor and
smart ear thermometer as well as collating manually inputted data
such as feeding and sleeping patterns. Recognizing that every baby
is unique, the uGrow ecosystem creates a highly personalized
supportive environment around babies and their parents, with the
interactive app providing featured articles based on insight from a
panel of breastfeeding, sleep and developmental psychology experts.

Philips’ connected Smart Baby Bottle Sleeve, which monitors milk

CPAP technologyCompact, lightweight and slim enough to pack in

(Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) therapy when traveling. An
optional re-chargeable battery pack allows for ‘off-the-grid’ use
during adventure travel such as hiking, fishing and camping. The
device is designed for easy screening while moving through airport
security. Following Philips’ tradition of making CPAP therapy more
comfortable, unobtrusive and easy to use, the DreamStation Go
features micro-flexible tubing with a modern, stylish design and
user interface. Like Philips’ other CPAP solutions, it wirelessly
connects to the Philips DreamMapper mobile app, providing users
with daily progress reports, goal tracking, tips and reminders to
help them stay on track with therapy. As a global leader in sleep
therapy solutions, Philips has a long history of innovation in both
devices and informatics solutions to help people improve sleep and
ultimately live a healthier life.
- Philips Heart Health program -
Philips Heart Health program is an app-based behavior change
program aimed at reducing lifestyle-induced risk factors for
cardiovascular disease in adults. It provides users with a
personalized plan, based on medical guidelines and their health
profile, that coaches them to increase their physical activity
levels, adopt a healthy diet, achieve better sleep, recognize
stress triggers and achieve a healthy weight. Clinically validated
measurements from an ecosystem of medical grade connected health
devices, such as the Philips health watch, help users in their
everyday decision making. Psychology-based step-by-step behavior
change and lifestyle coaching keeps them motivated and committed to
their heart health journey.

FlexCare Platinum Connected toothbrush and the Philips Sonicare
Breath care system, Philips offers unique connected technologies
and services to inspire and empower people to take better care of
their oral health in one platform. The Philips Sonicare FlexCare
Platinum Connected toothbrush uses unique smart sensor technology
inside the toothbrush and personalized coaching to help improve
brushing technique, while the Philips Sonicare Breath care system,
featuring our new connected Breath analyzer, measures, tracks and
helps users improve their breath quality and oral care habits. Both
products seamlessly sync with the Philips Sonicare app, giving
users data and guidance to empower them to proactively manage and
improve their oral health. The Philips Sonicare app is now a

Furthermore, Daimler and Philips have entered a strategic
partnership regarding the “Mercedes-Benz Fit & Healthy” project
to provide drivers with essential information about their health –
in-car and beyond. The Philips Health Watch enables drivers to
monitor their key health indicators, such as heart rate. This
in-car2 health and safety feature takes continuous health
monitoring to the next level, meaning people can review their data
and adjust their driving as necessary – for example, taking a break
if distress is detected. This could transform the car into the
ultimate mobility and wellbeing device. As the world leaders in
health monitoring, Philips understands the power of information to
improve health habits and health outcomes. We’ve taken that blend
of technology, expertise and medical grade accuracy and put it into
the Philips personal health programs, giving users the information
needed to manage their health, wherever they are.
In addition to innovations in the product areas highlighted
above, other innovations being showcased by Philips at this year’s

people to live independently at home, and new connected kitchen
appliances.
