Singapore – ST Engineering and Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA) today announced a new strategic partnership to offer complementary digital health solutions for bedside support and capacity management. These include ST Engineering’s operations command center, robotics and AI-enabled applications, and Philips’ clinical command center, to drive empirical outcomes and enhance the digital transformation efforts of healthcare providers in Asia Pacific (APAC), starting with Singapore.

The partnership, inked at ST Engineering’s annual InnoTech Conference, combines Philips’ global leadership in remote health technology with ST Engineering’s extensive digital tech capabilities. The joint objective is to help health systems bridge gaps in actionable data utilization while leveraging real-time insights to optimize care access and patient flow, a key area that healthcare systems in APAC are moving into to improve patient care impacted by workforce shortages and growing demand.
Key collaborative efforts between ST Engineering and Philips are as follows:
- ST Engineering’s AGIL® Care next-generation operations command center and Philips’ clinical command center synergizes insights from operational and clinical data on the respective systems. They effectively form a holistic command centre with full situational awareness of the entire patient journey via an interoperable remote service model. Leveraging machine learning and advanced analytics, hospital systems driving similar remote services can expect to reduce length of stay by more than 20% [1].
- Philips’ application which captures streaming clinical data from more than 1,000 bedside devices, is compatible with ST Engineering’s AI-driven AGIL® Assistive IoT Platform which consolidates IoT assets within the hospital into a single platform. This has the potential to bring together data on patient status, enabling healthcare providers to extend care delivery services beyond hospital operations.
“The lack of unified integration solutions are considerable barriers for hospitals seeking to improve productivity and operational efficiency, underscoring the need for digital health providers to collaborate and offer effective and interoperable digital health solutions. Partnering with Philips amplifies our collective expertise to synergize insights from both clinical and non-clinical data at scale, empowering healthcare informatics leaders to effectively transform care delivery models and optimize patient care resources,” said Tan Bin Ru, President of Enterprise (Digital) at ST Engineering.

In Philips’ Future Health Index 2024 survey of 600 healthcare leaders in APAC, 93% in APAC and 84% in Singapore reported that they experienced data integration challenges in their organization. Improved data accuracy, data security and privacy, and interoperability between platforms and healthcare settings were identified as ways to change how data is being handled to provide timely and high quality care.
