.........Putting Patients At The Center Of Care And Making Healthcare Personal
Lagos, Nigeria – At this year’s biggest healthcare trade show in West
Africa, Philips will reveal a portfolio of data driven radiology technologies
and connected
solutions across the health continuum, from healthy living to disease
prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Visitors to
the Philips booth and Master Classes at Medic West Africa 2016, will witness how Philips is
leveraging its deep clinical expertise, data management, consumer insights as
well as partnerships to help shape the future of healthcare in West Africa. The
aim is to provide more predictive and more personalized care to enable people
to take charge of their own health, as well as first time right diagnoses and
more effective treatments.
Radiology plays an important role in helping detect
and characterize disease at its earliest possible stages; assists in treatment
planning and assessment; and helps in the management of overall patient
care. Designed to help shorten the time between
diagnosis and treatment, Philips’ full range of radiology solutions in cardiology,
oncology, and women’s health are driving cost-effective, more consistent and
higher quality care across the entire hospital enterprise.
“With advancements in data driven digital health technology,
radiology has the power to significantly impact the way care is delivered, as
it plays a critical role in the majority of healthcare decisions,” said Ime Umo, CEO, Philips West Africa. “By
integrating advanced diagnostic imaging technologies with specialized
informatics, Philips is helping its customers to enhance the diagnostic
process, facilitate seamless collaboration and improve workflow efficiencies –
all for the enhancement of patient care.”
To
demonstrate their vision and commitment to connected innovations across the
health continuum, Philips is introducing new technologies to the West African
healthcare market at the show. These new technologies includes but not limited
to the followings:
Intellispace
Portal
The
Philips IntelliSpace
Portal is a web-enabled image and information management
system with a single integrated workspace that produces a holistic view of the
patient’s care continuum; it is one of the most comprehensive solutions
for problem detection, diagnostics, and therapy follow up, offering a full
suite of tools to increase accuracy of quantitative measurements and
reproducibility, decision support tools to boost diagnostics confidence.
CX50 CompactXtreme portable ultrasound system - Combines the image quality expected of a traditional,
premium, full-size system with the convenience of portability. Features PureWave
crystal technology, one of the biggest breakthroughs in piezoelectric transducer
technology in 40 years which has been clinically proven to improve image
quality across the patient population, especially on technically-difficult
patients
Premium
fluoroscopy and digital radiography
CombiDiagnost
R90 is a premium remote controlled fluoroscopy system in combination
with high-end digital radiography, designed to improve room utilization in a
cost effective manner.
CombiDiagnost R90 provides excellent
dose management features like grid-controlled fluoroscopy, new dynamic UNIQUE
image processing which offers consistent, outstanding image quality for radiography
and fluoroscopy applications, supporting high room utilization and patient
throughput.
Critical
Care Ventilation
The V680 ventilator includes a number of
advanced technologies designed to simplify use, support uninterrupted invasive
or noninvasive ventilation, and help reduce the incidence of unwanted pressure
spikes. Unlike other systems that stop ventilating during expiratory limb
occlusion or flow sensor failure, the V680 switches to Emergency Ventilation
Mode, and sounds a high-priority alarm. In this mode, the same oxygen and
ventilation settings are maintained through the inspiratory limb, buying critical
seconds or minutes for the patient until help arrives.
Philips continues to focus on driving
groundbreaking connected innovations across the health continuum. Digital
technologies are the enabler of such transformations in healthcare systems and
Philips is determined to drive that transformation.
