Koninklijke Philips N : Cardiac care without boundaries

I recently spoke to an experienced interventional cardiologist who was able to offer over-the-shoulder guidance to one of his peers during a complex procedure - while both were on different sides of the globe. It's amazing to think how futuristic this would have seemed just two years ago. Today, this kind of virtual collaboration is already emerging as a new reality in the wake of the pandemic.

At Philips, we have long been committed to innovating cardiac care together with our partners. Forging stronger clinical collaboration has always been a big part of that, whether it's across care settings, clinical specialties, or - as in this case - geographic locations. Every patient deserves the best possible care for their specific needs. And in complex cardiac conditions, that requires an orchestrated effort which transcends physical and clinical boundaries.

Cardiac care teams need to have the right information and support available at their fingertips, across the entire patient journey - all the way from emergency care to diagnosis, treatment, and care in the home. We're helping to make that happen. At every step of the way. All with the aim of improving outcomes and lowering cost of care, while improving patient and staff experience.
