ST Engineering and Philips Collaborate to Provide Advanced Digital Health Solutions in Asia Pacific

SINGAPORE - Media Outreach Newswire - 3 September 2024 - ST Engineering and Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) today announced a new strategic partnership to offer complementary digital health solutions for bedside support and capacity management.

These include ST Engineering's operations command centre, robotics and AI-enabled applications, and Philips' clinical command centre, to drive empirical outcomes and enhance the digital transformation efforts of healthcare providers in Asia Pacific (APAC), starting with Singapore.

The partnership, inked at ST Engineering's annual InnoTech Conference, combines Philips' global leadership in remote health technology with ST Engineering's extensive digital tech capabilities. The joint objective is to help health systems bridge gaps in actionable data utilisation while leveraging real-time insights to optimise care access and patient flow, a key area that healthcare systems in APAC are moving into to improve patient care impacted by workforce shortages and growing demand.

Key collaborative efforts between ST Engineering and Philips are as follows:

  • ST Engineering's AGIL® Care next-generation operations command centre and Philips' clinical command centre synergises insights from operational and clinical data on the respective systems. They effectively form a holistic command centre with full situational awareness of the entire patient journey via an interoperable remote service model. Leveraging machine learning and advanced analytics, hospital systems driving similar remote services can expect to reduce length of stay by more than 20%[1].
  • Philips' application which captures streaming clinical data from more than 1,000 bedside devices, is compatible with ST Engineering's AI-driven AGIL® Assistive IoT Platform which consolidates IoT assets within the hospital into a single platform. This has the potential to bring together data on patient status, enabling healthcare providers to extend care delivery services beyond hospital operations.
"The lack of unified integration solutions are considerable barriers for hospitals seeking to improve productivity and operational efficiency, underscoring the need for digital health providers to collaborate and offer effective and interoperable digital health solutions. Partnering with Philips amplifies our collective expertise to synergise insights from both clinical and non-clinical data at scale, empowering healthcare informatics leaders to effectively transform care delivery models and optimise patient care resources," said Tan Bin Ru, President of Enterprise (Digital) at ST Engineering.

"Healthcare leaders in APAC are looking to build a cohesive patient story by bringing data from different sources together in a meaningful way to enhance their ability to provide timely and high-quality care to patients. We are excited to collaborate with ST Engineering to provide our complementary digital solutions to help healthcare providers stay ahead of these needs, intelligently connecting people, data, and technology to bring better care for more people in APAC," said Dan Ball, Head of Enterprise Informatics, Philips APAC.

In Philips' Future Health Index 2024 survey of 600 healthcare leaders in APAC, 93% in APAC and 84% in Singapore reported that they experienced data integration challenges in their organisation. Improved data accuracy, data security and privacy, and interoperability between platforms and healthcare settings were identified as ways to change how data is being handled to provide timely and high quality care.
