Healthcare Business Highlights
Our Healthcare sector is dedicated to providing solutions designed around the needs to our customers and patients. We believe we can make a difference by removing boundaries in healthcare with our innovative and affordable technology solutions throughout the entire care cycle.
People Focused
At Philips Healthcare, we combine our unique clinical expertise with human insights to develop solutions that deliver value throughout the care cycle: from disease prevention to screening and diagnosis, through to treatment, monitoring and health management – wherever care is given: in the hospital or at home.
People focused healthcare means learning what it is like to be a patient, as well as understanding the complexities facing the care givers. Through these insights, we aim to develop more intuitive, affordable and better technology solutions, to help take some of the complexity out of healthcare. That is healthcare simplified.
With growing presence in cardiology, oncology, and women’s health, we focus on the fundamental health problems with which people are confronted, such as congestive heart failure, lung and breast cancers, and coronary artery disease.
