Philips Partners with Major Device Companies to Create the Smart Healing Environment of the Future

Philips’ open patient monitoring ecosystem enables partnerships with outside device manufacturers, allowing for a future of improved connectivity across the hospital. This is a significant step towards what we at Philips call a smart healing environment in which facilities will be able to consolidate alarms and feed them into alarm management workflows that meet clinicians where they are. This will support a future system of integrated third-party devices that will provide a holistic view of patient information all in one place, enabling clinicians to monitor patients remotely and inform quicker care decision-making. Improving care has always driven me, and I’m excited about the impact these partnerships can have.
