“Lumify’s unique combination of connectivity, simplicity, portability and flexibility enables clinicians to perform ultrasound examinations across a variety of clinical settings, from cardiology suites down to under resourced semi-urban and rural areas,” said Jasper Westerink, CEO, Philips Africa. “Finally, clinicians as well as family doctors at small outpatient clinics can perform scans themselves, speeding up the diagnosis process and possible treatments”.
Lumify with Reacts connects clinicians around the globe in real time by turning a compatible smart device into an integrated tele-ultrasound system, combining two-way audio-visual calls with live ultrasound streaming. This innovation in tele-ultrasound brings many new possibilities to users both inside and outside hospitals. All that is needed at the point of care is an appropriate Lumify ultrasound probe connected to a smart connected device, such as a tablet computer, with the Lumify with Reacts app installed.
In a resource constrained environment, technology like Lumify can strengthen referral pathways affording quick diagnosis in emergency departments in major towns, or with time even in more remote areas improving patient outcomes.

“The versatility, portability and safety of point of care ultrasound, has made it one of the most widely used first-line diagnostic tools,” said Dr. Wale Olusanya, Center Manager of the BT Health and Diagnostic Center of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital. “In a resource constrained environment, technology like Lumify can strengthen referral pathways affording quick diagnosis in emergency departments in major towns, or with time even in more remote areas improving patient outcomes”.
For example, Lumify with Reacts can bring experts into an ultrasound exam, no matter the distance, allowing midwives in remote locations to consult an obstetrician, who can provide perspective and guidance as if they were in the same room. Philips Lumify with Reacts is also a valuable tool for teaching institutions, medical students and residents, emergency medical service providers, disaster relief organizations, and hospitals that operate satellite clinics. Users have access to an online portal where they can manage their device and access Philips’ support, training and IT services.
