“The transition from open surgery to image-guided procedures has driven a seismic shift in improving patient outcomes and reducing costs – not least by dramatically reducing the length of time a patient stays in a hospital after their procedure,” said Atul Gupta, MD, Chief Medical Officer for Image Guided Therapy at Philips and a practicing interventional and diagnostic radiologist. “On our Azurion platform we seamlessly integrate a variety of knowledge sources in a way that’s intuitive to grasp and control. By collaborating with Microsoft and HoloLens 2 we will take it to the following level, immersing the physician in a tailored augmented reality environment. This concept allows me to see the true world superimposed with the live data and 3D medical imagery needed to guide our precision therapy, and importantly also lets me control Azurion with voice recognition, eye tracking and advanced gestures. It’s all about keeping our deal with the patient.”

 

“Mixed reality is giving people latest ways to interact with the digital and physical world, bringing the advantages of the digital revolution to thoroughly latest experiences across the globe,” said Alex Kipman, Technical Fellow, AI and Mixed Reality at Microsoft. “I’m thrilled to see corporations in a broad range of industries achieve more using the products that we construct with our partners and ecosystem. Mixed reality holds great potential in healthcare, and our collaboration with Philips shows how that potential is already starting to be realized.”

 

Microsoft unveiled HoloLens 2 on 24 February at MWC Barcelona. HoloLens is a self-contained holographic computer that permits hands-free, heads-up interaction with third-dimensional digital objects. HoloLens 2 builds on the breakthrough technology of HoloLens and is much more immersive, more comfortable and delivers more value right out of the box.

Complemented by existing and latest Azure cloud services, and with built-in AI, HoloLens 2 is the final word intelligent edge device.

 

Since its global launch in February 2017, over half one million patients have been treated in greater than 80 countries using the Azurion platform, which is powered by Philips’ proprietary ConnectOS and combines technical innovations in each software and hardware. ConnectOS allows the mixing of advanced digital innovations on the Azurion platform. Philips previously announced that it’s developing an augmented reality solution for spine, cranial and trauma procedures. 

 

Innovation is core to Philips’ growth strategy in health technology, and the corporate spends roughly EUR 1.8 billion annually on R&D. In recent years Philips has significantly stepped up its activities in software, adaptive intelligence and data science. Today, around one in every two of Philips’ R&D professionals is lively on this field. Philips has successfully developed the Philips HealthSuite Platforms, a standard digital framework that connects consumers, patients and healthcare providers in a cloud-based connected health ecosystem of devices, apps and tools.
