The partnership develops from a leading collaboration in diagnostic imaging to expand the Phoenix Children’s programs and further drive clinical excellence. As one of the largest children’s hospitals in the US, Phoenix Children’s provides care across more than 75 pediatric specialties.
Phoenix Children’s will have access to Philips’ medical technologies like imaging systems in CT, MRI and angiography, patient monitoring, clinical informatics, and a comprehensive range of clinical and business consulting services. These technologies and services should help Phoenix Children’s expand its high standards of care and integrate its divisions and facilities for a seamless patient experience.
Dr. Richard Towbin, Division Chief of Pediatric Radiology at Phoenix Children’s, states: “Together, Phoenix Children’s and Philips developed technologies such as dose reduction using iterative CT reconstructions and pediatric MRI protocols that are now factory standards worldwide. We also have an advanced 3D print laboratory that constructs life-size models of patients’ hearts and other organs, illustrates exact tumor size, and uses post-processing software to study heart and brain physiology using MRI and CT.”
Brent Shafer, CEO of Philips North America says that Phoenix Children’s “has helped us to take our innovations in diagnostic imaging to the next level and we look forward to working with them to do the same in the areas of patient care monitoring and informatics, exploring how to apply machine learning and accelerating the transformation of pediatric care.”
David Higginson, Chief Administrative Officer at Phoenix Children’s, adds that . “Our insights and research paired with the knowledge and scale of a technology leader like Philips will help us jointly develop solutions that can have meaningful impact on global pediatric health.”
