NETHERLANDS — Royal Philips, a global leader in health technology, is illuminating the path to enhanced cardiac care through the seamless integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across cardiac ultrasound and care offerings.
The spotlight shines brightly on the portable Philips Ultrasound Compact System 5500 CV at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress, a pivotal event set to unfold from August 25 to 28 in Amsterdam.
At the forefront of this evolution is the 5500 CV ultrasound compact system. Distinguished by an AI-powered automation tool, this innovative solution facilitates precise assessment of the heart’s left ventricle function.
Seamlessly aligned with the EPIQ CVx and Affiniti CVx systems, the portable platform streamlines user interface and workflow.
Philips augments its cardiac ultrasound portfolio with an array of advancements, including comprehensive 3D quantification and heart modeling, automated 2D Doppler and length measurements, and reproducible 2D strain quantification and mitral valve analysis.
As Bert van Meurs, Executive Vice President and Chief Business Leader of Image Guided Therapy and Precision Diagnosis at Philips, underscores, “We’re integrating AI across our portfolio to help clinicians make sense of all the information available to them so that they can focus more on caring for their patients.”
Reshaping cardiac ultrasound with AI
The role of ultrasound as the primary diagnostic modality for cardiac patients is pivotal. Faced with burgeoning patient volumes and complexity, health systems globally grapple with the challenge of operator shortages.
Philips takes a stride towards resolution through AI-powered streamlining of workflows and amplification of diagnostic confidence within its cardiac ultrasound technology.
With each passing year, Philips’ ultrasound systems contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of over 240 million patients.
Philips stands as a vanguard in infusing AI-powered technology across its cardiac ultrasound array.
Integrating AI across cardiac care
Philips transcends individual solutions, crafting an intricate ecosystem that empowers clinicians with superior cardiac care and enhanced efficiency.
The canvas broadens with the unveiling of the Advanced Visualization Workspace, a realm where AI-enabled algorithms and workflows converge seamlessly.
Remarkably, the integration of Cardiac MR and CT analysis within this workspace catalyzed a 20% to 30% reduction in analysis time, according to Philips.
Monitoring hearts, enabling Care
Shouldering the responsibility of monitoring 1.2 million patients annually, Philips pulsates with life, transmitting 4 billion heartbeat data points daily.
Its offerings span from remote cardiac monitoring innovations, courtesy of Philips ECG Solutions, a leading AI-powered remote ambulatory cardiac monitoring provider, to empowering physicians in managing heart patients through seamless diagnostics spanning from home to hospital and vice versa.
