ST Engineering and Philips Collaborate to Provide Advanced Digital Health Solutions in Asia Pacific

“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.

“Healthcare leaders in APAC are looking to build a cohesive patient story by bringing data from different sources together in a meaningful way to enhance their ability to provide timely and high-quality care to patients.  We are excited to collaborate with ST Engineering to provide our complementary digital solutions to help healthcare providers stay ahead of these needs, intelligently connecting people, data, and technology to bring better care for more people in APAC,” said Dan Ball, Head of Enterprise Informatics, Philips APAC.

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.
