People- and patient-centric ​​innovation for maximum impact​​

Philips has been improving people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation for over 130 years. Our impact has always been driven by innovation, design and sustainability. ​​​Now, we are in a unique position to help healthcare overcome some of its biggest challenges ever. By maximizing our innovation impact, we can offer better care for more people.​​​

Giving back time​


Healthcare is not working as it needs to. Health systems all over the world are under tremendous pressure. ​​​​We want to give care providers more time to focus on what matters most – the patient – while making it easier for more people to take care of their own health and well-being at home.​

Solving real ​day-to-day challenges​​


Innovation in Philips happens as close to our customers and consumers as possible, so we can work backwards from what they really need and solve their day-to-day challenges. We focus on innovations in monitoring, interventional, imaging, enterprise informatics and personal health.​
