Empowering health systems with new capabilities in hospital patient monitoring

In collaboration with its long-term partner Xovic, a leading medical technology distribution company in Thailand, Philips relaunched its Learning and Experience Center in Bangkok to better equip healthcare professionals with skills and knowledge on hospital patient monitoring and connected care technologies. The Learning Center will provide clinical trainings and support to healthcare professionals in using these technologies, empowering them to work more efficiently, with greater confidence in clinical decision making.

“Technology is truly effective when it works in rhythm with the dynamic needs of our healthcare system today. Leveraging Philips’ innovation strength for over 130 years, we are continually bringing new capabilities into our patient monitoring platforms and integrated care systems to meet the rising demand and complexity in hospital care,” said Alexei Costa, Head of Growth Region, Hospital Patient Monitoring. “The future of healthcare hinges on equipping providers with the latest skills and capabilities to keep up with new technologies. By doing so, we optimize patient care and revolutionize health outcomes.”

The enhanced facility, located at Xovic's site in Bangkok, features Philips' comprehensive suite of hospital patient monitoring platforms and integrated care systems, enhancing the patient journey from the emergency room to the general ward. The integrated care systems are equipped with advanced clinical decision support solutions that capture data and actionable insights that are highly relevant for critical decision-making in clinical care. These solutions work in tandem with smart alarms to identify and promptly alert caregivers to critical events. Patient data are continuously captured from monitors and medical devices and securely integrated into emergency medical records (EMR), ensuring seamless patient records from admission to discharge and during transport.

At the Learning Center, healthcare professionals will be trained to utilize a complete range of bedside and transport monitors, central stations, and mobile applications that integrate seamlessly to reduce complexity in healthcare settings. The Learning Center will provide personalized clinical, technical, and operational education to support healthcare professionals’ development. Learning will be offered in a range of formats including classroom sessions, technical training, and updates on the latest clinical procedures and technologies.

"Having been established in Thailand since 1986, Xovic demonstrates a strong understanding of the healthcare needs across the country. With over 30 years of partnership in hospital patient monitoring with Philips, we are committed to delivering innovative products and solutions to close healthcare gaps in Thailand. Our collaboration will not only enhance healthcare professionals' experience and knowledge but also support the continuous development of their skills and capabilities," said Veerachai Saengkurkulchai, from Xovic Company Limited.
