Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands is a diversified Health and Well-being company, focused on improving people’s lives through meaningful innovations.

The future of healthcare is one of the most pressing global issues of our time. The Healthcare sector’s vision is to improve the quality of clinicians’ and patients’ lives by simplifying the delivery of healthcare, improving clinical outcomes and reducing healthcare system costs around the world. This includes helping to improve the diagnosis, treatment and management of many of today’s deadly and debilitating diseases, such as cancer and heart disease.

By approaching healthcare from the perspective of a patient or a physician, we believe we can better understand clinical needs and create more innovative and meaningful solutions. By understanding a medical condition through the entire “cycle of care” – from prevention and screening, through diagnosis and treatment, to recovery and, where needed, long-term management – we can create more effective solutions. By focusing on enabling care in the hospital, in the home, or wherever else the patient might be, we can improve the quality of life for patients and their care providers. Through our consistent focus on all of these aspects of care, we can ultimately create the best solutions.
