- Connected health – Allowing for the integration and
analysis of data to better support patient care and engagement, the
Philips HealthSuite Digital Platform is an open and secure,
cloud-based IT infrastructure that supports the secure collection
of all types of data related to health and lifestyle.
- Acute and general care – From centralized monitoring and
a single point of interoperability, to clinician mobility and
effective alarm management, technology is meant to help ease
clinician challenges – not overwhelm them.
- Enterprise telehealth – Leveraging
telehealth-enabled clinical programs, patient data and
computer-based algorithms, care teams can remotely monitor and
consult to address patient populations across the health continuum
and improve care by reducing costly readmissions.
- Home monitoring – Senior patients and their caregivers
want confidence and peace of mind to live safe, healthy and
connected independent lives. Through a wearable medical alert
service, seniors can get access to help when and where they need it
when an emergency occurs.
- Imaging and informatics – By streamlining the management
and analysis of patient data for radiology, cardiology and
pathology through seamless interactions with core hospital
information systems, health systems can balance clinical workflow,
improving patient care and economic value.
- Sleep and respiratory care – Gaining insights into
consumer needs can lead to healthier patients and best practices.
Addressing complex sleep conditions may be eased with a focus on
informatics, data management and patient compliance.
