Royal Philips has signed a hospital-wide, long-term strategic partnership with Radboud University Medical Center (RadboudUMC). The 10-year partnership states that all RadboudUMC departments will have access to Philips’ latest patient monitoring applications and portfolio.
As part of a service agreement, Philips will deliver clinical and technical services to maintain monitors and the underlying IT platform. The agreement provides RadboudUMC with the latest updates, software, and security for its patient monitoring systems.
Léon Kempeneers, Managing Director of Philips Benelux commented: “Patient monitoring is an innovation focus of Philips, and we use our technology to support healthcare providers to better care for their patients. The hardware, the monitors, and sensors are the visible parts of the monitoring system, but the invisible part – the software – is where we can make a big difference for healthcare providers. By bringing together patient data and distilling information from it, these systems and software can support caregivers in taking better care of patients and intervening more quickly when needed. In the future, we will see many developments in this area including the introduction of artificial intelligence.”
Philips is providing some interchangeable monitors that can be used during patient transport. Patient data is stored on software and IT systems behind the monitors so that no patient data is lost.
The company is also focusing on technology that aims to enhance the usability of monitors. Philips recently introduced the Visual Patient Avatar that aggregates patient data from the monitor during surgery, into a "virtual patient" on the monitor screen to help caregivers interpret data more easily.
