Philips

The moments that matter. In sports, even the tiniest milliseconds can make a difference. The same goes for healthcare. As the world’s best football players (or, depending on where you live, the best soccer players) hit the pitch dreaming of a championship, at Philips we think about how every day, clinicians are responding quickly to get competitors performing at their best. We’re helping with the medtech innovations they need, such as imaging equipment, for a faster and more accurate diagnosis. Helping to get athletes back into action as soon as possible is just another way we’re helping deliver better care for more people.

AI in healthcare is moving from promise to practice. Healthcare professionals say AI is already helping them where it matters: saving time, supporting faster decisions, expanding capacity and creating more space for patient care. In this year’s Future Health Index – the 11th edition of our global healthcare survey and the largest of its kind – we gathered perspectives from over 20,000 patients and 2,000 clinicians.

For 135 years, Philips has focused on a single purpose: improving lives through innovation. It began with light: making it affordable and accessible, brightening homes and workplaces. But our purpose quickly grew beyond technology. In the early days, Philips pioneered social care in the Netherlands, establishing medical services that offered families access to doctors, midwifery, screening, and child health clinics. As the decades passed, innovation took new forms. Breakthroughs in health technology, from X-ray imaging to digital connectivity, reshaped how people lived, worked, and received care. Philips enabled new consumer experiences through radio, TV, CDs, and later, enhanced lives through microchips and digital solutions. Today, that commitment continues. In remote parts of the world, Philips mobile, solar-powered CT units bring diagnostics directly to underserved communities, enabling lung-cancer and cardiac screening far from traditional hospitals and closer to where people live. In India, Philips is helping develop and scale low-cost innovative approaches for prevention, diagnosis, and management of childhood pneumonia. Across the world, Philips offers AI-enabled healthcare solutions to help clinicians deliver more efficient, accessible care while automating routine work. Different generations. Different geographies. Same purpose. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dUzQDPT4

It all started with a phone call decades ago. Walt Disney called Philips about lighting for Disneyland. That relationship continues to stand the test of time. Today, in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company, we’re introducing beloved Disney stories and characters into Philips Ambient Experience for MRI to help young patients feel more at ease during scans. Following successful pilots in Europe, Philips Ambient Experience with Disney themes is rolling out to hospitals across 87 countries worldwide.

What does good design sound like? In an ICU, nurses are surrounded by alarms all day long, many of which don’t even require clinical intervention. Over time, constant noise can contribute to stress, distraction and alarm fatigue for nurses, staff, patients and families. That’s why Philips has reimagined patient monitoring sounds from the ground up by working alongside clinicians and sound experts to design alarm sounds that are clearer, calmer and more actionable. Because design is about far more than how something looks. It’s about finding innovative and impactful ways to support people’s real needs in the moments that matter. By transforming the sound of care, we can help create a more focused, healing environment for clinicians, patients and families alike. 💙 Visit the link in the comments below to learn more about our reimagined alarm sounds and the way design can impact care everywhere.

For 135 years, Philips has helped shape the world through innovation, from lighting homes and connecting people through radio and television, to designing AI-enabled solutions to help improve healthcare. Different eras. Different breakthroughs. One proud legacy of making a difference. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ghs-akZ8

We believe that a thriving midwifery workforce is at the heart of stronger health systems. Today, on International Day of the Midwife, we’re proud to celebrate midwives and the essential role they play in delivering safe, high-quality maternal healthcare.   Building on the global collaboration between Philips Foundation and RAD-AID International, announced in 2022, Philips is proud to collaborate with the Canadian Association of Midwives (CAM) to help bring maternal ultrasound services closer to home. Through this initiative, more than 120 midwives across Canada are being supported through specialized training.
