Connected cardiology begins here
The need for integrated technology is greater than ever
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the leading cause of death and disability in the world today: It affects people from all spectrums of life. Low and middle income countries are now equally affected as affluent countries, as CVDs are present across gender and age. Technology, real-time data and population health management, can be a key to addressing CVDs, and ensuring a heart-healthy population the world over.
17.7 million people die per year from CVDs, an estimated 31% of all deaths worldwide*
75% of CVD deaths occur in low and middle-income countries*
80% of all CVD deaths are due to heart attacks and strokes*
Shaping the future of healthcare together
Taking on the world’s leading killer
According to WHO, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is the leading NCD killer in the world, and is rapidly increasing in prevalence. The burden of cardiovascular disease is crippling healthcare systems worldwide. We have to start doing things differently.
Healthcare Informatics: data vs. insights
“Having all of the information at hand, making accurate measurements and always looking at the right image can augment your ability to make a good decision.” Dr. Roy Smythe, Chief Medical Officer of Healthcare Informatics at Philips.
Connected healthcare is better healthcare
There has been a lot of talk in recent years about the importance of empowering patients. But what about physicians? How are they empowered by technology?

Informatics, at the heart of healthcare
Your patients’ lives are a continuum with multiple cardiovascular incidents happening throughout their lifetimes. Each and every one of your patients has a history of symptoms, tests, diagnoses, and treatments that makes that patient different from any other. Shouldn’t the tools you use to care for these unique individuals reflect this?"
