People- and patient-centric innovation for maximum impact
Start with the patient or consumer
Innovation at Philips starts with identifying real needs and then work backwards from those needs, so our innovations are truly people- and patient-centric.

We work together with clinicians to co-create solutions that fit real clinical workflows through long-term partnerships.
Focus on impact
We maximize the impact of our innovations by focusing on the ones that have the potential to scale and benefit as many people as possible, so we can help deliver better care for more people.
