Philips and AWS expand strategic collaboration to advance
HealthSuite cloud services and power generative AI workflows
November 26, 2024
Cloud-enabled integrated diagnostics portfolio aims to unify
workflows, improve access to critical insights, and drive better
outcomes for patients
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today
announced the expansion of its strategic collaboration with Amazon
Web Services (AWS) to offer Philips’ integrated diagnostics
portfolio in the cloud, including radiology, digital pathology,
cardiology [1], and AI advanced visualization [1] solutions. The
collaboration aims to unify diagnostic workflows, improving access
to critical insights and driving better outcomes across clinical
specialties. Philips has already successfully transitioned over 150
sites across North America and Latin America to Philips HealthSuite
Imaging on AWS and is building on its collaboration with AWS to
accelerate the migration of health systems to the cloud, and will
expand to include customer cloud migrations in Europe.
Cloud Capabilities for Integrated
Diagnostics
Philips offers scalable healthcare informatics solutions by
leveraging industry-leading cloud availability, reliability and
security from AWS. Philips’ cloud-based solutions will offer a
unified view of patient data from diverse diagnostic sources,
including radiology images, digital pathology slides, and other
clinical records to support care team collaboration and optimize
workflows. Clinicians also benefit from remote access to
diagnostic, reporting, and workflow orchestration tools, which can
enhance diagnostic capabilities across healthcare imaging, from
diagnosis to treatment and follow-up.
“The collaboration between Philips and AWS gives healthcare
providers scalable, secure-by-design cloud-enabled solutions to
accelerate healthcare innovation,” said Matt Garman, CEO of AWS.
“Combining Philips’ healthcare informatics portfolio with AWS
generative AI capabilities gives clinicians access to imaging
insights so they can deliver more effective and efficient care to
patients anywhere, anytime, with best-in-class security and
privacy.”
The Future of Workflows with Generative AI
As healthcare providers continue to face significant challenges,
Philips works closely with clinicians to develop innovative ways to
address the increasing clinical demands. By automating routine
tasks and optimizing workflows, clinicians would be able to
dedicate more time to image interpretation, consultations, and
patient interactions. Philips aims to create robust and scalable
generative AI applications that leverage state-of-the-art
foundation models from Amazon Bedrock, and seamlessly integrate
into clinical workflows. In the future, these AI applications may
reduce administrative burdens and time-consuming repetitive tasks,
helping clinicians focus their expertise where it matters most – in
critical decision-making.
One example of how Philips is exploring generative AI as part of
its innovation roadmap is through conversational reporting,
allowing clinicians to use conversational language to convert
findings into structured reports, which can then be reviewed. These
capabilities can help construct and revise reports in real-time,
add diagnostic impressions, and flag potential inconsistencies.
Generative AI has the potential to reduce report editing time,
while maintaining high quality by integrating patient histories and
clinical context into the final diagnostic report. Optimized
reporting could help lead to quicker diagnosis and support better
overall quality of care.
“Given the tremendous increase not only in patient volumes, but
also in the complexity and number of images per study, radiologists
need a tool that limits the distractions of dictation while at the
same time increasing accuracy,” said Edward Steiner, Chief and
Medical Director, The York/WellSpan Advanced Prostate Care Center,
USA. "With Philips’ concept of ambient reporting using generative
AI, you simply could speak in a conversational tone and a
structured report is generated within seconds. My estimate is a 15
to 20 percent increase in efficiency, and this is just the
start.”
“Philips’ cloud-based healthcare informatics solutions allow us
to drive better outcomes across clinical disciplines, including
radiology, digital pathology and cardiology. We’re working closely
with clinicians to ensure workflows become more efficient and give
back valuable time to healthcare providers,” said Roy Jakobs, CEO
of Royal Philips. “Collaborating with AWS helps us to innovate
faster and deliver better care for more people.”
