It’s an initiative to help hospitals and health systems consistently deliver accessible, high-quality care to patients in a sustainable way, enabled by emerging technology that improves predictability, collaboration, precision and integration.

The new innovations Philips is announcing at Arab Health 2024 include next-generation ultrasound systems that increase diagnostic confidence and workflow efficiency, workflow optimisation through AI-powered innovations in MR (SmartSpeed), and new AI-enabled cloud solutions that enhance healthcare efficiency and clinical confidence. Also featured is the next-generation Image Guided Therapy System designed to perform a wide range of routine and complex interventional procedures easily and confidently.

Vincenzo Ventricelli, CEO, Philips Middle East, Türkiye and Africa (META), said, “Philips’ showcase at Arab Health 2024 is centred on our commitment to redesign healthcare around patients and caregivers, enabled by the latest technological innovations and purposeful partnerships. We are unlocking new opportunities and co-creating solutions that are crucial for tomorrow, while staying committed to enabling healthcare to work better for patients, caregivers, and the planet, today.” 

“Philips’ long history of collaboration and innovation ideally positions us to help care providers identify new future-ready opportunities and solutions designed to make healthcare work better,” said Ventricelli. “While we have the experience, expertise and end-to-end solutions, we know we cannot do it alone, which is why we are excited to engage with our customers and stakeholders to co-create patient and planet-centric care that realises a healthier future across the region – right here at Arab Health 2024.”

Philips will be showcasing the interoperability of Philips MDIP (Medical Device Information Platform) Integration with Philips Patient Information Center iX (PIC iX), providing hospitals with a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive patient overview. Interoperability between MDIP and PIC iX enables the capture of streaming data flowing freely from a variety of medical device manufacturers on an open, scalable, secure platform.

By disseminating this information, clinicians have a unified view of the patient that delivers enhanced clinical insights and actionable alerts to help empower caregivers to make treatment recommendations confidently throughout the hospital’s digital environment.

Also on display will be Philips’ Visual Patient Avatar; a revolutionary new monitoring solution that translates complex patient data into a straightforward, easy-to-understand visual display. Visual Patient Avatar is a clinical decision support tool designed in partnership with anesthesiologists to help improve situational awareness in critical care environments.

A simplified monitor view of the patient’s body and vital signs helps care providers to recall and process critical data more quickly, efficiently, and confidently, allowing them to focus on what matters most and prepare for what may come next.

Philips will also feature its PageWriter TC35 Cardiograph, a compact solution that provides advanced tools to enhance workflow, facilitate quality ECG reports, and support clinical decisions. The seamless design of the new compact lead-set means fewer connections for staff to manage.

Philips experts are present at Arab Health to showcase upgrades and trade-in services that help stakeholders to stay at the forefront of new hardware and software developments and get the most out of technology. Whether this calls for a managed services, expert consultancy, education, financing solutions through Philips Capital or other types of partnerships the Philips team is present to help healthcare providers in the region make confident investment decisions for today and the future.
