Artificial Intelligence
Technology that adapts. People who benefit.
At Philips, we develop intelligent solutions that help healthcare providers achieve better outcomes, and that help consumers live healthy lifestyles. We do this by applying artificial intelligence in a meaningful way that improves people’s lives.
We believe that applying AI to healthcare and personal health requires a deep understanding of the clinical, operational, or personal context in which such methods are used. We use the term ‘adaptive intelligence’ to talk about applying artificial intelligence in a meaningful way that improves people’s lives.
Adaptive intelligence combines artificial intelligence and other methods with knowledge of the clinical, operational, or personal context in which they are used.
We believe a person’s health journey should be a connected journey that offers a seamless, integrated and highly personalized experience. A journey in which people are increasingly engaged with their own health and get support from professional care teams, as needed and when needed.
It supports solutions that adapt to people’s needs and extend their capabilities – helping healthcare providers to achieve better outcomes at lower cost, helping clinicians to spend more time understanding their data and applying it in a clinical setting, and helping consumers to live healthy lifestyles.

A journey in which every single bit of information adds to a greater body of knowledge that patients, their care professionals, and science and society at large can benefit from.
We think that artificial intelligence, together with other technologies, can help turn that vision into reality. But not by taking technology as a starting point. The needs of the healthcare provider and the patient or consumer should always be at the forefront. Technology should adapt to their needs, extend their abilities, and help them achieve better outcomes. That’s why we believe in the power of adaptive intelligence.

To improve operational performance and streamline workflows
By extracting insights from data, AI-enabled solutions can support clinicians to optimize their workflows, including planning, procedure times, and selecting the right exam for the right patient. On a departmental and enterprise level, the ability of AI to sift through large amounts of data can help hospital administrators to optimize performance, drive productivity, and improve the use of existing resources, generating time and cost savings.
To make high-quality clinical decisions
AI-enabled solutions can help to combine large amounts of medical data to generate a more holistic view of patients. This supports clinicians in their decision making, leading to better patient outcomes and improved population health.

To proactively manage their own health
Beyond the borders of the hospital, AI offers tremendous opportunity as it gets embedded into solutions for home care and healthy living. This will enable people to take control over their own health, supported by intelligent advice as they need it, where they need it.
To manage the health of entire populations
Combining clinical decision-making support with patient self-management, population health management can also benefit from AI. Based on predictive insights in patient populations, healthcare providers will be able to take preventative action, reduce health risk, and save unnecessary costs.
