Patient monitoring
Monitoring interoperability
Seeding the next wave of innovation with an open patient monitoring ecosystem
At Philips, we’ve seen hospitals and health systems struggle with proprietary communication protocols and closed ecosystems and are now shifting to an open, interoperable environment. By opening our platform to other companies, we can create a patient monitoring ecosystem that allows caregivers to fully leverage investments in digital technologies and manage devices across vendors with ease.
Powering smart healing environments through open, connected systems
Clinicians make critical decisions every day based on data from a wide range of medical devices – many of which don’t talk to each other. It's time to simplify that reality.
By making data more accessible through advanced interoperability, Philips is helping to create smart healing environments that work better for both clinicians and patients.
Working across industry to make device interoperability the new standard
We’re building on 40 years’ experience advocating for interoperability standards by embracing Service-oriented Device Connectivity (SDC) and actively encouraging all medical device companies to join us. We envision a future where a clinician can command and control all devices and act on clinical data more easily. A future that enables closed-loop therapy built from open standards on a common infrastructure that can be centrally managed, maintained, serviced and secured. Learn what it really means to be interoperable and "SDC ready" by downloading our white paper below.
Collaborating with technology partners
Working to advance SDC standards is just one ways that Philips works with other companies on behalf of clinicians and their patients. For example, we form technology partnerships to merge other vendors’ clinical measurements into our monitoring platforms, integrate other vendors’ device data into our mobile app, and create a vendor-neutral, Open OR, and expand vital sign collection using integrated wearable biosensors. Read about our technology partnerships and how a vendor-neutral approach can benefit health systems.
Integrating multiple devices for one patient story
Interoperability between MDIP and PIC iX gives clinicians a new clinical perspective that enables the capture of streaming data flowing freely from a variety of medical device manufacturers on an open, scalable, secure platform. By disseminating this information through the Patient Information Center, clinicians have a single, unified view of a patient’s condition that helps empower caregivers to make treatment recommendations confidently.
