Philips' Partnership with Image Stream Medical Extends Philips Image-Guided Minimal Invasive Therapy Solutions

Philips has also acquired a small stake in ISM as part of the agreement.

Philips provides a wide range of healthy living and healthcare products including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, recovery and home care products. ISM focuses on products that control, route, capture and manage data and images from various sources including interventional labs, and hybrid suites.

The addition of integrated video and live streaming capabilities to Philips' interventional lab solutions is part of a strategy to address current trends and extend its offering of image-guided minimally invasive therapies in hybrid environments. The agreement will allow Philips to provide more integrated clinical informatics solutions, and consultancy services.

Bert van Meurs, General Manager of the Image-Guided Therapy at Philips added, “Integrated video and live streaming capabilities have become increasingly critical to connecting clinicians and enabling remote collaboration, in both interventional and hybrid environments.” ISM EasySuite platform facilitates sharing and archiving of procedural video information and surgical data in hospitals and with the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). ISM CEO of ISM, Eddie Mitchell commented, “Image Stream Medical is very pleased to enter into this partnership with Philips in the image-guided therapy field, a natural extension of our perioperative solution.”
