Philips

It all started with a phone call decades ago. Walt Disney called Philips about lighting for Disneyland. That relationship continues to stand the test of time. Today, in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company, we’re introducing beloved Disney stories and characters into Philips Ambient Experience for MRI to help young patients feel more at ease during scans. Following successful pilots in Europe, Philips Ambient Experience with Disney themes is rolling out to hospitals across 87 countries worldwide.

What does good design sound like? In an ICU, nurses are surrounded by alarms all day long, many of which don’t even require clinical intervention. Over time, constant noise can contribute to stress, distraction and alarm fatigue for nurses, staff, patients and families. That’s why Philips has reimagined patient monitoring sounds from the ground up by working alongside clinicians and sound experts to design alarm sounds that are clearer, calmer and more actionable. Because design is about far more than how something looks. It’s about finding innovative and impactful ways to support people’s real needs in the moments that matter. By transforming the sound of care, we can help create a more focused, healing environment for clinicians, patients and families alike. 💙 Visit the link in the comments below to learn more about our reimagined alarm sounds and the way design can impact care everywhere.

For 135 years, Philips has helped shape the world through innovation, from lighting homes and connecting people through radio and television, to designing AI-enabled solutions to help improve healthcare. Different eras. Different breakthroughs. One proud legacy of making a difference. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ghs-akZ8

We believe that a thriving midwifery workforce is at the heart of stronger health systems. Today, on International Day of the Midwife, we’re proud to celebrate midwives and the essential role they play in delivering safe, high-quality maternal healthcare.   Building on the global collaboration between Philips Foundation and RAD-AID International, announced in 2022, Philips is proud to collaborate with the Canadian Association of Midwives (CAM) to help bring maternal ultrasound services closer to home. Through this initiative, more than 120 midwives across Canada are being supported through specialized training. By combining portable ultrasound with real-time clinical support, this program helps improve access, supports confident evidence based decision-making and helps reduce the need for long-distance travel during pregnancy.    Learn more about our co-created program with RAD-AID International aimed to reach 50 million people globally: Philips Foundation announces multi-year partnership to increase access to ultrasound services for 50 million people. https://lnkd.in/e79CdJ2x ---   Nous sommes convaincus qu’une main-d’œuvre de sages-femmes prospère est au cœur de systèmes de santé plus solides. Aujourd’hui, à l’occasion de la Journée internationale de la sage-femme, nous sommes fiers de célébrer les sages-femmes et leur rôle essentiel dans la prestation de soins de santé maternelle sécuritaires et de grande qualité.   Dans le prolongement de la collaboration mondiale entre la Fondation Philips et RAD-AID International, annoncée en 2022, Philips est fière de collaborer avec l’Association canadienne des sages-femmes (ACSF) pour aider à rapprocher les services d’échographie prénatale du domicile des patientes. Dans le cadre de cette initiative, plus de 120 sages-femmes à travers le Canada bénéficient d’une formation spécialisée. En combinant l’échographie portable à un soutien clinique en temps réel, ce programme contribue à améliorer l’accès aux soins, favorise la prise de décisions cliniques fondées sur des données probantes en toute confiance et permet de réduire la nécessité de déplacements sur de longues distances pendant la grossesse.    Apprenez-en davantage sur notre programme élaboré en collaboration avec RAD-AID International, qui vise à rejoindre 50 millions de personnes à travers le monde : La Fondation Philips annonce un partenariat pluriannuel visant à améliorer l’accès aux services d’échographie pour 50 millions de personnes. https://lnkd.in/e79CdJ2x

Can quality healthcare and sustainable healthcare go hand in hand? The answer is yes. We don't have to choose between human health and the health of the planet. And we all have a role to play in protecting both. If the street, community or region in which we live isn’t healthy, how can we be? Philips is spotlighting how sustainable innovations in healthcare can benefit patients, hospitals, and the world in which we live. Take low-helium MR systems, for example. By using dramatically less helium – a finite natural resource – hospitals can potentially reduce environmental impact while still delivering high-quality scans. Enhancing the patient experience and reducing environmental impact helps us to reach a more resilient future in healthcare.

At Health Lab 2026 in the Philips Museum, children and families recently stepped into fun and friendly healthcare scenarios to learn how to spot a stroke, build healthy habits and better understand what recovery can look like. By turning complex health topics into playful experiences, people can feel and remember. This is just one way Philips is helping the next generation recognize symptoms earlier, because it can save lives. From hands-on ultrasound scanning to immersive VR simulations, scroll through the photos to see the event in action.

Early detection matters. Stories like Shira Kupperman Boehler’s are a powerful reminder that lung cancer doesn’t always look the way we expect. An active runner and lifelong non-smoker, her diagnosis came as a surprise—but a routine scan helped catch it earlier. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., yet screening rates are still far too low. We’re proud to support conversations like this—and to help deliver better care for more people.

Improving health and well-being is about people. It’s about helping patients access the care they need – and enabling care teams with the support to deliver it. Through collaboration and innovation, Philips is working to expand access to quality healthcare around the world. Last year we helped improve the lives of 2 billion people. Worldwide. Explore the stories behind that impact. #WorldHealthDay2026 #HealthEquity #HealthcareInnovation

🦷 Fun fact: When you’re asleep, your mouth is not. During sleep, saliva flow drops. Without it, bacteria moves right in and continues to grow along teeth and gums. Which is why brushing at night is so important. The startling truth is, manual toothbrushing can leave up to 50% of bacteria behind, which multiplies as you sleep. This routine blind spot has real consequences that can affect your overall health, breath, and confidence. Which is why having the right toothbrush matters. Innovations like Philips power toothbrushes help improve oral health worldwide. Just one of the many ways we’re helping deliver better care to more people. 🕘 When do you brush your teeth?
