Innovation that unites expertise across specialties to simplify the journey

With an increasing number of cancer patients and more specialties involved in their care, the cancer care journey has become more complex. Working together to streamline and connect multidisciplinary workflows and integrate patient data and clinical decision support helps you facilitate a clear journey for each patient.

Simplify the complex journey for your patients and care teams

Reduce unnecessary burdens for your oncology patients

Every cancer care journey has a defining moment with heartbreaking news that no patient wants to hear. Delays, uncertainties and complex logistics take an additional toll. Today, the cancer care journey often includes specialists across multiple disciplines. Improving the flow of information at every point supports care that is efficient, precise and personalized.

See how Philips helps you integrate insights at every step of the patient journey.

Empower your clinicians with information and tools to bring clarity at each point of the care journey

Clinicians want to be able to provide the right care at the right time, with thoughtfulness and compassion. They would like that care to be fast when it can be, and slower and more measured when it has to be. Having consistency, communication and collaboration is crucial to quality cancer care.

Many patients face a complex care journey full of appointments, interventions and treatments.

How do we ensure that along every step of the way, we’re empowering patients, empowering physicians to do the right things as expediently as possible, to move care along in the best way?”
