Mass General Brigham aims to improve healthcare efficiency using AI in new collaboration with Philips
New England Council member, Mass General Brigham, has partnered with Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG), a global leader in health technology, to develop an advanced data infrastructure that will help improve patient care and efficiently process healthcare data. Their aim is to collect live healthcare data from multiple devices, all monitoring the same patient, and leverage artificial intelligence to integrate the data and aid clinical decisions. Philips has its U.S. headquarters in Cambridge, which will be key to the collaborative relationship.
“This exciting collaboration marks a key step forward in healthcare innovation, harnessing the full potential of AI and medical device data to advance patient safety, operational efficiency, clinician ergonomics, while opening new discovery possibilities,” said Dr. Tom McCoy, Medical Director of Biomedical Engineering at Massachusetts General Hospital.
For the collaboration’s initial research stage, an MGB program will use a combination of Philips’ technologies to collect live healthcare data from patients undergoing continuous heart monitoring. The research aims to improve the detection of cardiac events and other critical health issues and enable clinicians to analyze and react to the real-time data that is available in these moments.
The New England Council congratulates the team at Mass General Brigham on this exciting new partnership.
