In November of last year, Philips announced the agreement to acquire Cardiologs, a France-based medical technology company focused on using AI and cloud technology for cardiac diagnostics. The company offers a vendor-neutral heart disorder screener and electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis applications, based on machine learning algorithms. It’s designed to accelerate diagnostic reporting, decrease the occurrence of reporting errors and streamline clinician workflow and patient care.
“Cardiologs will further strengthen Philips’ cardiac monitoring and diagnostics offering with innovative software technology, ECG analysis and reporting services,” Chaudhari said. “With early detection of potential adverse events and proactive interventions, care teams have greater control over patient outcomes, while increasing both staff and patient satisfaction and reducing hospital length of stay and readmissions to control costs.”
At HIMSS 2022, Philips announced that it had received FDA clearance for the latest Philips Capsule Surveillance solution. The surveillance provides continuous analysis of medical device data to identify deteriorating patient conditions quickly and alerts care teams of changes.
The latest version of Philips Capsule Surveillance includes expanded interoperability into hospitals’ existing mobile Clinical Communication and Collaboration (CC&C) tools and eICU and virtual care population health management systems, offering more visibility on live streaming data, waveforms, device alarms and contextual alerts.
“The integration of Philips Capsule into the Philips portfolio of connected health technologies is an important step in our strategy to become a leading solutions provider across the entirety of the care continuum,” Chaudhari said. “Our objective is to empower care teams instead of overloading them with data by delivering actionable insights and earlier notifications at each point of care.”
