Royal Philips (NYSE:
PHG, AEX: PHIA) announced that Lumify; an
ultrasound solution compatible with Android devices, is now available for qualified
practitioners or medical organizations in the Philippines. Philips’ ultrasound
digital health approach connects compatible smart devices, a mobile
application, advanced ultrasound transducer technology, integrated IT and
support services, to help healthcare providers improve patient care and reduce
costs.
Lumify, the
Philips app-based ultrasound solution, helps healthcare professionals make
fast, informed decisions. With Lumify’s full suite of point-of-care
transducers, physicians in multiple care situations can take advantage of every
crucial moment without the time and mobility restrictions of locating a
cart-based ultrasound.
“At Philips, we
understand the importance of designing quality technological health equipment
for healthcare practitioners and patients at point-of-care. This is
particularly important in the Philippines where care solutions are widespread
geographically and that’s why we’re so excited to be launching Lumify in this
market - putting high-quality devices in the hands of more professionals, to
serve more patients in more locations”says Ashwin Chari, Country Manager,Philips Philippines. “While
continuing to deliver exceptional image quality, Lumify is further extending
the reach of ultrasound by creating better connections between clinicians and
their patients,” he added.
App-based ultrasound,
ready when you are
Lumify is the
first Philips ultrasound device for pre-hospital use andsupports clinical
applications including cardiac, abdominal including lung, OB/GYN, superficial,
vascular, soft tissue, MSK, gallbladder and FAST exam pre-sets.
To use Lumify, HCPs
need to download The Lumify App from
GooglePlay, connect their Philips transducer to their compatible smart device
and launch the app to begin scanning. The Lumify App and all three transducers
(L12-4, C5-2, and S4-1) are backed by a 5-year warranty, each having gone
through rigorous environmental and durability testing for reliability for any
clinical setting. The S4-1 transducer and cable weighs 152 grams and is smaller
than a smartphone, adding to its versatility and mobility. Beyond integrating
with everyday technology, Lumify also uses cloud-enabled technology to connect
with PACS, shared networks and system directories.
“The availability
of the Philips Lumify device in the Philippines is really valuable news for doctors
such as myself. It’s portabilityand usability mean we can use it in a variety
of environments and locations, and itsimmediate feedback enables us to make
on-the-spot diagnosis as we receive high quality ultrasound imaging without the
need for a larger machine,” says Dr. Roy M. Sasil Jr, President of PHA Northern
Mindanao Chapter.
Dr. Marilou U. De
Vera, Obstetrician and Gynecologist at Cardinal Santos Medical Center agreed:
“The portability of Philips Lumify is the key benefit for me. Many of my
patients require diagnosis and treatment in very remote locations where access
to a standard ultrasound solution is not always available. Philips Lumify
allows me to take an ultrasound system to them andenabling a much thorough
diagnosis.”
Dr. Michael
Obispo, Sports Physiatrist, Osteopath, Musculoskeletal Sonologist at Asian
Hospital and Medical Center also shared: “I’m really excited about the
availability of Philips Lumify in the Philippines. Not only will it enable me
to offer different treatments to my patients, but most importantly, it removes
the restrictions I often face from having to locate a cart-based ultrasound.
Philips Lumify allows me to take advantage of every crucial moment during
diagnosis and treatment, which can have a huge impact.”
Lumify is a
solution that will grow with its users, with plans for regular software updates
and additional transducers, services and apps being released at regular
intervals.
