The Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected toothbrush has been selected as a CES 2017 Innovation Award HONOREE in the ‘Fitness, Sports and Biotech’ product category.

Furthermore, Daimler and Philips have entered a strategic partnership regarding the “Mercedes-Benz Fit & Healthy” project to provide drivers with essential information about their health – in-car and beyond. The Philips Health Watch enables drivers to monitor their key health indicators, such as heart rate. This in-car2 health and safety feature takes continuous health monitoring to the next level, meaning people can review their data and adjust their driving as necessary – for example, taking a break if distress is detected. This could transform the car into the ultimate mobility and wellbeing device. As the world leaders in health monitoring, Philips understands the power of information to improve health habits and health outcomes. We’ve taken that blend of technology, expertise and medical grade accuracy and put it into the Philips personal health programs, giving users the information needed to manage their health, wherever they are.


In addition to innovations in the product areas highlighted above, other innovations being showcased by Philips at this year’s CES 2017 include advanced home monitoring solutions that enable people to live independently at home, and new connected kitchen appliances.
