Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Paris, France - At the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress 2018 in Paris, France (September 15-19), Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, will showcase the company’s growing portfolio of advanced connected care solutions designed to foster effective and efficient care for chronic respiratory and sleep conditions. During the show, Philips will also unveil its newest connected solution, Trilogy Evo, the only portable life support ventilator platform designed to stay with patients to provide consistent therapy and monitoring as they change care environments and when their condition changes.

Chronic conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) can be difficult to manage due to complex care plans, large care teams, and frequent readmissions. Integrated with Care Orchestrator, Philips’ sleep and respiratory care cloud-based management system, Trilogy Evo will help to ease this burden by allowing physicians, clinicians, and care providers to collaborate and coordinate care from hospital to home by storing their patient prescription and therapy information in a single secure location.

“Worldwide, chronic conditions are on the rise, presenting continually growing care challenges. Time and again, we have seen the positive impact that connected care can have not only on patients, but on the care teams that serve them,” said John Frank, Business Leader for Sleep and Respiratory Care at Philips. “With effective treatment options, chronic respiratory conditions can be managed effectively. Trilogy Evo is our next evolution of work in connected care solutions, making therapy management for chronic conditions easier and more efficient.”
Along with Trilogy Evo, Philips will showcase the latest suite of integrated innovations in sleep and respiratory care including:

Care Orchestrator, Philips cloud-based patient management software solution that allows providers and clinicians to efficiently manage patient care across a single platform. Through its cloud-based solutions like Care Orchestrator, Philips enables the care of more than 8.5 million connected sleep and respiratory patients worldwide.

NightBalance Lunoa is the latest treatment for positional sleep apnea.
