Growing amounts of disparate data across many different systems

As you work to deliver the best cancer care for your patients, wasted efforts wrangling complex systems and cumbersome workflows challenge clinical teams, unnecessarily. You need meaningful, data-driven insights in the pivotal moments when patient and the clinical specialist come together to empower critical decisions.

Characterizing tumor and cancer subtype

The challenge

Cancer care is moving towards optimal, personalized treatment choices that are tailored to individual patients. All of the information from disciplines in cancer diagnostics and genomics come together to inform the decisions made by cancer specialists during the diagnostic phase. Digitization of healthcare enables all diagnostic data (from radiology, pathology and in-vitro diagnostic tests) becoming available in a digital form.


At Philips, we enable characterization and staging a patient’s disease confidently by reducing under- and over-staging.

How we can help

Digital pathology workflows that support productivity and collaboration​

Selecting the optimal therapy

The challenge

The number of treatment options is continuously increasing. New targeted drugs are available and new minimally invasive approaches to focused therapies are required. Diagnostics and treatment need to become more integrated.


We at Philips enable patient-specific care pathway selection, including available clinical trials, based on integrated patient diagnostic information with the goal to enhance patient care.

Assessing therapy response 

The challenge

To ensure the best possible outcome it is important to assess how the cancer is responding to the selected therapy. If not responding as expected then a plan adaption may be considered as part of a personalized therapy regimen to ensure optimal outcomes. 

 

We at Philips provide systems and tools that support enable a workflow that increases access to cancer care and drives down cost while also improving patient experience. We do this to reduce unnecessary patient burden and cost of ineffective therapies.
