Philips Wants You to Be the Picture of Health: Showcases Cloud-Based Technologies for Every Stage of Life at CES
Demonstrates how Philips is breaking down the walls between personal
devices, the hospital & home for a healthier society
ANDOVER, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Royal
Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) today announced it will showcase how
consumer health and professional healthcare are coming together in the Philips
HealthSuite digital platform, the company’s cloud-based innovation
platform, to help consumers and their healthcare providers obtain a
complete picture of their health as well as take the right steps to
remain healthy at every stage of life. During the Consumer Electronics
Show (CES), January 6-9 in Las Vegas at the Sands Expo, booth #72941,
Philips will demonstrate apps that help track a baby’s development to a
child’s tooth brushing habits, as well as offering personalized grooming
advice for men. Additionally, there are connected health solutions for
patients recovering from acute conditions that enable seniors to be more
independent, allowing them to stay at home where they are most
comfortable.
The Philips HealthSuite digital platform is an open, cloud-based
platform of services, capabilities and tools that allows Philips and its
partners to create the next generation of connected health innovations.
It interoperates seamlessly with other cloud-based technologies such as
the Salesforce Health Cloud and Amazon Web Services. The platform will
also support professional healthcare solutions, personal coaching apps
and Philips consumer devices, as well as those from other open
platforms. In addition, the platform will support population health
analytics, giving clinicians a better view into how to support society,
from understanding if a baby is hitting development milestones, to
managing patients with chronic diseases like diabetes, to understanding
the unique needs of older adults and how to empower them.
“By connecting both consumers and their medical devices in the cloud,
not only do we enable consumers to take greater control of their
personal health journey with just-in-time analyses and advice through
personalized health apps, but we can also provide clinicians with better
quality information in a more manageable way, so they know when to
intervene in your healthcare,” said Liat Ben-Zur, SVP, Digital
Technology and Connected Propositions at Philips. “Our rich heritage in
consumer electronics and healthcare allows us to break down the
technology barriers between personal devices, hospitals and your home to
take the Internet of Things to a whole new, more meaningful level.
Ultimately, allowing people to live healthier, fuller lives.”
