“Philips technology provides sophistication in patient diagnosis
and strategic foresight that improves the solutions and care our
teams deliver,” said Dr. Richard Towbin, Division Chief of
Pediatric Radiology at Phoenix Children’s. “Together, Phoenix
Children’s and Philips developed technologies such as dose
reduction using iterative CT reconstructions and pediatric MRI
protocols that are now factory standards worldwide. We also have an
advanced 3D print laboratory that constructs life-size models of
patients’ hearts and other organs, illustrates exact tumor size,
and uses post-processing software to study heart and brain
physiology using MRI and CT.”
Philips and Phoenix Children’s have a shared commitment to
clinical excellence and connected patient care that can help drive
efficiency, while improving the patient experience and outcomes.
Through innovation, the two organizations want to make healthcare
more sustainable and accelerate solutions and services specifically
designed to address the needs of children.
“The staff at Phoenix Children’s continues to push the
boundaries of pediatric care and we want to build on the great work
they have done, marrying their deep understanding of children’s
clinical needs with our leading technologies and research, to
create integrated solutions that can support this precious segment
of society, ” said Brent Shafer, CEO of Philips North America.
“Phoenix Children’s has helped us to take our innovations in
diagnostic imaging to the next level and we look forward to working
with them to do the same in the areas of patient care monitoring
and informatics, exploring how to apply machine learning and
accelerating the transformation of pediatric care.”

trauma, emergency and urgent care to children and families in
Arizona and throughout the Southwest. As one of the largest
children’s hospitals in the country, Phoenix Children’s provides
care across more than 75 pediatric specialties.
“Phoenix Children’s values working with partners who understand
treating children is more complex, and this population shouldn’t
simply be categorized as ‘little adults’,” David Higginson, Chief
Administrative Officer at Phoenix Children’s. “Philips understands
the long-term value of investing in pediatric care, even though it
is a relatively small subset of the healthcare market, and is
willing to invest time and research into the unique needs of
pediatric care, which makes us confident in this partnership. Our
insights and research paired with the knowledge and scale of a
technology leader like Philips will help us jointly develop
solutions that can have meaningful impact on global pediatric
health.”
