LAS VEGAS -- (Business Wire)
At CES

Philips (NYSE:PHG, AEX:PHIA) is showcasing innovative connected
health products and solutions that empower consumers to become ever-more
engaged in their health. Leveraging Philips’ expertise in the consumer
and professional healthcare domains, and the advanced analytics and
computing power of the company’s secure HealthSuite cloud platform,
these new connected digital health products and services further
illustrate Philips’ commitment to delivering meaningful innovations for
every stage of life – from birth to healthy living and healthy aging.
“The personal and professional healthcare worlds are converging, with
traditional models of care being challenged at every turn, and connected
digital technology is now the key to empowering consumers to take care
of their health and that of their loved ones,” said Pieter Nota, CEO
Personal Health Businesses and Chief Marketing Officer, Royal Philips.
“In areas such as oral health, mother and child care, sleep and
respiratory care, heart health and home monitoring, Philips is
showcasing its ecosystem of connected products and services at CES, once
again demonstrating its leadership in the world of digital health.”
Philips’ new consumer health products and services are powered by the
Philips HealthSuite cloud, allowing consumers to combine their health
data and use it in smarter and more meaningful ways to support a
healthier lifestyle, manage their health conditions and connect and
share data with their healthcare professionals.
Key product innovations being showcased at CES 2017 include:
- Philips Avent uGrow1 digital parenting
platform - Designed to help new parents understand and support
their baby’s healthy development, the uGrow
app connects wirelessly to the Philips Avent smart baby monitor
and smart ear thermometer as well as collating manually inputted data
such as feeding and sleeping patterns. Recognizing that every baby is
unique, the uGrow ecosystem creates a highly personalized supportive
environment around babies and their parents, with the interactive app
providing featured articles based on insight from a panel of
breastfeeding, sleep and developmental psychology experts. Planned
integration of new Philips’ devices into uGrow include Philips’
connected Smart Baby Bottle Sleeve, which monitors milk temperature
and consumed volume, a connected air purifier to monitor air quality
and the Hue lighting system to create a relaxing soothing environment.
Inputting data and tracking information into uGrow will soon be easier
with the addition of Amazon Echo voice activation.

- Philips DreamStation Go portable CPAP technology
Compact,
lightweight and slim enough to pack in a carry-on flight bag or
briefcase, Philips’ soon-to-be released DreamStation
Go means users never have to miss out on CPAP (Continuous Positive
Airway Pressure) therapy when traveling. An optional re-chargeable
battery pack allows for ‘off-the-grid’ use during adventure travel
such as hiking, fishing and camping. The device is designed for easy
screening while moving through airport security. Following Philips’
tradition of making CPAP therapy more comfortable, unobtrusive and
easy to use, the DreamStation Go features micro-flexible tubing with a
modern, stylish design and user interface. Like Philips’ other CPAP
solutions, it wirelessly connects to the Philips DreamMapper mobile
app, providing users with daily progress reports, goal tracking, tips
and reminders to help them stay on track with therapy. As a global
leader in sleep therapy solutions, Philips has a long history of
innovation in both devices and informatics solutions to help people
improve sleep and ultimately live a healthier life.
- Philips Heart Health program - Philips
Heart Health program is an app-based behavior change program aimed
at reducing lifestyle-induced risk factors for cardiovascular disease
in adults. It provides users with a personalized plan, based on
medical guidelines and their health profile, that coaches them to
increase their physical activity levels, adopt a healthy diet, achieve
better sleep, recognize stress triggers and achieve a healthy weight.
Clinically validated measurements from an ecosystem of medical grade
connected health devices, such as the Philips health watch, help users
in their everyday decision making. Psychology-based step-by-step
behavior change and lifestyle coaching keeps them motivated and
committed to their heart health journey.
- Philips digital oral care management platform - With the
introduction of the new Philips
Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected toothbrush and the Philips
Sonicare Breath care system, Philips offers unique connected
technologies and services to inspire and empower people to take better
care of their oral health in one platform. The Philips Sonicare
FlexCare Platinum Connected toothbrush uses unique smart sensor
technology inside the toothbrush and personalized coaching to help
improve brushing technique, while the Philips Sonicare Breath care
system, featuring our new connected Breath analyzer, measures, tracks
and helps users improve their breath quality and oral care habits.
Both products seamlessly sync with the Philips Sonicare app, giving
users data and guidance to empower them to proactively manage and
improve their oral health. The Philips Sonicare app is now a ‘virtual
hub’ for personal oral healthcare, enabling users to manage their
brushing and breath quality on a daily basis, share results with their
dental practitioners, and have personalized guidance and advice at
their fingertips.
The Philips Sonicare FlexCare
Platinum Connected toothbrushhas been selected as a CES
2017 Innovation Award HONOREE in the ‘Fitness, Sports
and Biotech’ product category.
Furthermore, Daimler and Philips have entered a strategic partnership
regarding the “Mercedes-Benz Fit & Healthy” project to provide drivers
with essential information about their health – in-car and beyond. The
Philips Health Watch enables drivers to monitor their key health
indicators, such as heart rate. This in-car2 health and
safety feature takes continuous health monitoring to the next level,
meaning people can review their data and adjust their driving as
necessary – for example, taking a break if distress is detected. This
could transform the car into the ultimate mobility and wellbeing device.
As the world leaders in health monitoring, Philips understands the power
of information to improve health habits and health outcomes. We’ve taken
that blend of technology, expertise and medical grade accuracy and put
it into the Philips personal health programs, giving users the
information needed to manage their health, wherever they are.
In addition to innovations in the product areas highlighted above, other
innovations being showcased by Philips at this year’s CES 2017 include
advanced home monitoring solutions that enable people to live
independently at home, and new connected kitchen appliances.
