Can Gingerbread Help Improve Patient Monitoring and Safety? Philips says Yes!

At the AdvaMed MedTech Conference, the Healthcare IT Today team caught sight of this “gingerbread man” and were intrigued enough to find out more. Julia Strandberg, Chief Business Leader of Connected Care and Monitoring at Philips, agreed to come on-camera to provide more details.One of Philips’ recent breakthroughs is the Visual Patient Avatar, an AI-powered interface that provides a holistic, real-time representation of a patient’s condition. This intuitive tool reduces cognitive load by presenting critical patient data visually, helping clinicians make faster, more informed decisions.“When the patient is cold, the avatar can turn blue,” explained Strandberg. “Or when their pulse is racing, you can see the heart on the avatar pumping more.”

Strandberg pointed to Philips’ latest central monitoring unit, the PIC iX v4.3 Patient Information Center (PIC iX), which integrates data from various sources, including non-Philips devices, into a cohesive and open ecosystem as an example of the company’s direction. The PIC iX system ensures continuity of care because the unit can physically be moved with the patient – to their room at the hospital, to the operating room, and even to their home. Philips has added this mobility because it recognizes that providing care is no longer restricted to the four walls of a facility.
