Philips spotlights AI-driven, patient centric solutions for precision diagnosis and connected care at Arab Health 2022

The company’s new and enhanced AI-enabled solutions feature an integrated approach across the imaging and connected care enterprise focused on critical areas to help meet the challenges facing clinicians today.

Philips’ solutions unveiled at Arab Health, highlight how to achieve winning workflows in radiology, enable a clear care pathway with predictable outcomes in oncology, make informed decisions in critical care and have confidence in cardiac diagnoses and procedures, through leading technology introductions including:

Philips is launching its new MR 5300* for customers in the META region at Arab Health. This innovative 1.5T MRI system simplifies and automates complex clinical and operational tasks with “helium-free for life” MR operations via the exclusive BlueSeal magnet, driving consistent quality and sustainability for outpatient imaging centers and MR departments. The MR 5300 uses AI-driven VitalEye touchless patient sensing and advanced algorithms to detect breathing – allowing a routine MR exam set-up to occur in less than a minute; improving the MR experience for patients who have difficulty in holding their breath thereby overcoming a legacy limitation of MR scans.

This breakthrough solution is designed to help boost MR productivity, speed up exams, empower clinicians to make informed clinical decisions, and control the costs of MR imaging.

Philips is also showcasing its newest solution for precision diagnosis with the spectral detector-based Spectral Computed Tomography (CT) 7500.* This latest intelligent system delivers high quality spectral images for every patient on every scan 100% of the time to help improve disease characterization, and reduce rescans and follow-ups, all at the same dose levels as conventional scans. The time-saving spectral workflow is fully integrated, enabling the technologist to get the patient on and off the table quickly – spectral chest scans and head scans take less than one second, and a full upper body spectral scan can be completed in less than two seconds – while still delivering high quality imaging that allows the physician to rapidly deliver a confident diagnosis and effective treatment plan for each patient.

Philips is also spotlighting how connectivity, smart systems, and the convergence of sophisticated technologies like AI and Big Data analytics can help bring the dream of patient-centric care to life, by introducing several transformative innovations at Arab Health:

The general care ward encompasses a wide range of patients with varying conditions and needs. Sicker patients, unexpected clinical deterioration and lower nurse-to-patient ratios mean the clinical staff's job is increasingly more difficult.

Philips’ General Ward Solutions offer the next generation in smart vital sign monitoring systems with a fully automated and configurable early warning scoring (EWS) system for the hospital ward to ensure rapid response to deteriorating patients.

This includes the Phillips IntelliVue Guardian Solution, which integrates easily into existing general ward infrastructure and combines vital signs monitoring and software for early identification and notification of at-risk patients. This AI-enabled automated early warning scoring system aids in identifying subtle signs of deterioration in a general floor patient’s condition at the point of care, hours before a potential adverse event, so caregivers and Rapid Response Teams can respond earlier – in time to make a difference. The IntelliVue Guardian automated EWS helps to reduce ICU transfers and readmissions, adverse events, and length of stay.

Philips’ telehealth solutions and capabilities enable customers to extend where, when, and how care is delivered - regardless of the patient’s location. Using advanced clinical data throughout a patient’s care pathway to help detect critical issues earlier virtual care can help monitor a range of patients across the care continuum while maintaining quality of care and optimizing staff allocation and productivity.

The Philips eICU as an example, enables clinicians to interact with staff at the bedside and consult on individual care – even from an offsite location. This means one centralized specialized critical care team can manage a large number of ICU locations, and exchange health information electronically, in real time. This offers a supplement – not a replacement – to the bedside team, by creating added support structures to increasingly scarce clinical resources.

Arab Health 2022 is taking place at the Dubai World Trade Center from 24 – 27 January 2022. You can visit the Philips booth at Sheikh Saeed Hall 2, Stand No. S2.D10.
