| | August 201719Introduction of New InnovationsHigh fetal and maternal mortality rates continue to remain one of the major concerns in the healthcare space. The rural areas have a higher number of deaths. This is where Philips has un-veiled its Mobile Obstetrical Mon-itoring (MoM) to remotely monitor pregnant women for early high risk identification via a new telehealth solution. This innovation is a great step towards improved healthcare for new born & mothers and enhances the performance of India's frontline health workers in the developing ar-eas; enabling them to save many lives. In the virtue of same, Philips Inno-vation Campus has partnered with Narayana Health and National Rural health Mission, Karnataka to provide its services to the remotest corners of the country. "Our various connected care solutions have increased accessi-bility to care in remotest corners of the world, empowered patients to manage their health while also giving health providers tools to improve patient out-comes," claims M R Srinivas Prasad, CEO, Philips Innovation Campus.The leading cause of death in India is the cardiovascular disease. Several surveys reveal that 50 percent of the affected patients arrive too late for appropriate treatment and if they re-ceives treatment within one hour of the attack (golden hour), their life can be saved. Philips' chest pain clinics aims at enabling small hospitals and nursing homes to provide timely and quality emergency cardiac care and thus save lives. Once a patient is con-firmed as suffering from a Myocardial Infarction (heart attack), immediately he/she will be transported via an am-bulance from the chest pain clinic, for primary percutaneous coronary inter-vention within the golden hour.Today technology allows us to re-imagine the way healthcare has been deployed. It takes data from all kind of sensors and has ability to process tremendous amount of information to spot the change. The best example of this is Philips Innovation Campus's IntelliSpace Consultative Critical Care (ICCC) solution service. The solution provides the state-of-the-art hardware and software products that enable clinicians to connect and mon-itor multiple intensive care units 24×7 from a central location. Besides, the solution even works at remote loca-tions and facilitates patient with best services at affordable cost.Milestone Prasad said, "To enable the develop-ment of connected healthcare, our products are focused at improving workflow in hospitals, reduction of infrastructure costs by leveraging the cloud, point of care devices to help in faster and early diagnosis, appropriate applications and remote monitoring that can help in extending the reach of doctors and specialists to areas where care was not available before". He fur-ther added, "Our mission is to touch more than three billion lives by 2025 and hence we are working towards creating meaningful innovations that will make healthcare accessible to all through connected healthcare".
