Philips and Cognizant Collaborate in Digital Health

Royal Philips and Cognizant have announced a collaboration to develop end-to-end digital health solutions that will aim to enable healthcare organizations and life sciences companies to improve patient care and accelerate clinical trials. The alliance brings together Philips HealthSuite, a cloud-based platform and Cognizant’s digital engineering knowledge to deliver and maintain digital health solutions at scale, providing advanced connectivity and using big data to create actionable insights.

Philips HealthSuite, built on Amazon Web Services, is an integrated, modular set of standards-based capabilities that support the development of digital health propositions. The platform securely stores critical healthcare data and provides both advanced data analytics and AI capabilities. To date, more than 100 types of medical devices have been integrated into HealthSuite, with over 145 billion clinical images securely archived on the cloud platform. As part of this collaboration, Cognizant will build, deploy, implement, and operate client-specific applications on Philips HealthSuite.

With these solutions, healthcare providers can monitor their patients outside traditional clinical settings, and patients can stay more informed of their own well-being.
