from diagnosis, through therapy compliance and ongoing use. It is
designed to meet today's industry challenges by:
- Driving increased patient adherence
- Increasing operational and staff efficiencies

At SLEEP 2015, Philips will display its new solutions in home

from set-up, to compliance, through ongoing patient management.
Recent additions to Philips' sleep portfolio include:
