Berlin, Germany – At this year’s Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) in Berlin, Germany, Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) showcases new products and services that empower consumers to take an active role in managing their health and well-being to get the most out of life. Philips’ highlights at the exhibition include innovations in sleep therapy, mother and child care, air quality, oral health and female beauty.

“At Philips, we believe there is always a way to make life better,” said Egbert van Acht, Business Leader Health & Wellness, and per October 1, 2017, Chief Business Leader of the Personal Health businesses at Royal Philips. “The digital platforms and intelligent solutions we are showcasing at this year’s IFA are designed to give consumers better insights into their health and greater control over it, and an easy access to professional expertise and advice. They span all stages of life, from vulnerable newborns to seniors keen to maintain their independence. Propositions like Care Orchestrator, which builds on our world leadership in sleep therapy solutions, are proof that Philips is at the forefront of digital health.”

Powered by Philips Healthsuite, Care Orchestrator is Philips’ patient management solution for people living at home with chronic sleep and respiratory conditions. It unites patients, homecare providers, physicians and insurance companies within a single, cloud-based platform. Care Orchestrator allows clinicians to provide personalized support, coaching and education to patients at home, and supports care providers with actionable data to make fast, informed clinical decisions. As part of Care Orchestrator, Philips’ DreamMapper app allows people to track progress at home. It helps them to use their sleep therapy on average 25 percent more nights [1] and improves their adherence to treatment.


With more than 2.5 billion nights of cloud-based sleep therapy data collected over 10 years from more than 5 million connected sleep therapy and ventilation devices, Philips is continuously leveraging its growing connected sleep landscape to innovate new and impactful services to help people sleep and breathe better all over the world.
